3-6. Loop Detection
Looping will always occur when the switches are connected as a cycle and a
switchtransmits the packets that will go back to the transmitted switch. Loop
Detection willprevent the looping from happening. Moreover, it could remove the
loopingphenomenon per port. In general, you can unplug the cable connection to
stop thelooping when a port causes the looping. The switch has powerful Looping
Detectioncapability, which could cease the looping immediately.
Function name:
Loop Detection
Function description:
This function will start when you enable looping action by ticking the check
box (;) of the Action. That will create some special packet for looping
detection. After enabling looping action, you should decide which port you
would like to open loop detection capability. For example, you open the
loop detection of port 1 as enable state. When the looping situation
happens from port 1, Loop Detection will lock the port1’s ability. And then
you will see that the “Current Status” of port 1 shows Locked. In port status
function, you can see that the State of Port Configuration of port 1 is
“Disabled”. So the port 1 will lose the essential ability the port could have.
However, “Resume Action” in Loop Detection will remove the looping
status. It is very convenient for looping happening in real networking
environment. After any setting you done, please click the <Apply> button
to have the setting taken effect. When looping has already happened, we
suggest that the users could choose the looping port as “Enable” in
advance. And then tick the check box (;) of the Action. That will get the
better result for Looping removing.
