The Loopback Detection function is used to detect the loop created by a specific port while Spanning Tree
Protocol (STP) is not enabled in the network, especially when the down links are hubs or unmanaged
switches. The Switch will automatically shut down the port and sends a log to the administrator. The
Loopback Detection port will be unlocked when the Loopback Detection
Recover Time
times out. The
Loopback Detection function can be implemented on a range of ports at the same time.
