How Does It Operate?
Loop Protect operates as a per port, per MST instance feature and should be set on ISLs. It comprises several related functions, including:
- Controlling port forwarding state based on reception of agreement BPDUs
- Controlling port forwarding state based on reception of disputed BPDUs
- Communicating port non-forwarding status through traps and syslog messages
- Disabling a port based on frequency of failure events
