Loop Protection

Operating Notes
■ The receiver-action option can be configured on a per-port basis and can 
only be enabled after loop protection has been enabled on the port. All 
other configuration options (disable-timer, trap loop-detected, and transmit 
interval) are global.
■ The trap option refers to a SNMP trap.
■ Regardless of how the receiver-action and trap options are configured, all 
detected loops will be logged in the switch’s event log.
■ The no loop-protect <port> command will not remove a receive-action 
configuration line from the running configuration unless this option is set 
to receive-action send-disable.
■ If loop-protect is enabled in port mode, it cannot also be enabled in VLAN 
mode, and vice-versa.
