This command enables the detection and response to Spanning Tree loopback
BPDU packets on the port. Use the no form to disable this feature.
Syntax
[no] spanning-tree loopback-detection
Default Setting
Enabled
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
◆ If Port Loopback Detection is not enabled and a port receives it’s own BPDU,
then the port will drop the loopback BPDU according to IEEE Standard 802.1W-

◆ Port Loopback Detection will not be active if Spanning Tree is disabled on the
switch.
Example
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
Console(config-if)#spanning-tree loopback-detection
spanning-tree
loopback-detection
action
This command configures the response for loopback detection to block user traffic
or shut down the interface. Use the no form to restore the default.

no spanning-tree loopback-detection action
block - Blocks user traffic.
shutdown - Shuts down the interface.
duration - The duration to shut down the interface.
