30.18  spanning-tree guard loop 
Description 
The spanning-tree guard loop command is used to enable the Loop Protect 
function for a port. Loop Protect is to prevent the loops in the network 
brought by recalculating STP because of link failures and network 
congestions. To disable the Loop Protect function, please use no 
spanning-tree guard loop command. 
Syntax 
spanning-tree guard loop 
no spanning-tree guard loop 
Command Mode 
Interface Configuration Mode (interface fastEthernet / interface range 
fastEthernet / interface gigabitEthernet / interface range gigabitEthernet/ 
interface ten-gigabitEthernet / interface range ten-gigabitEthernet / interface 
port-channel) 
Example 
Enable the Loop Protect function for Gigabit Ethernet port 1/0/2: 
T3700G-52TQ(config)#interface gigabitEthernet 1/0/2 
T3700G-52TQ(config-if)#spanning-tree guard loop 
30.19  spanning-tree guard root 
Description 
The spanning-tree guard root command is used to enable the Root Protect 
function for a port. With the Root Protect function enabled, the root bridge 
will set itself automatically as ERROR-PORT when receiving BPDU packets 
with higher priority, in order to maintain the role of root bridge. To disable the 
Root Protect function, please use no spanning-tree guard root command. 
Syntax 
spanning-tree guard root 
no spanning-tree guard root
