detection parameters. Then click Apply.
Status Enable loopback detection for the port.
Operation Mode Select the operation mode when a loopback is detected on the port:
Alert: The Loop Status will display whether there is a loop detected on the 
corresponding port. It is the default setting.
Port Based: In addition to displaying alerts, the switch will block the port on which 
the loop is detected.
VLAN-Based: If a loop is detected in a VLAN on that port, in addition to displaying 
alerts, the switch will block that VLAN. The traffic of the other VLANs can still be 
normally forwarded by the port.
Recovery Mode If you select Port Based or VLAN-Based as the operation mode, you also need to 
configure the recovery mode for the blocked port:
Auto: The blocked port will automatically be recovered to normal status after the 
automatic recovery time expires. It is the default setting.
Manual: You need to manually release the blocked port. Click Recovery to 
release the selected port.
3)  (Optional) View the loopback detection information.
