Configuring Simple Loop Prevention Protocol (SLPP) Guard

For Simple Loop Prevention Protocol (SLPP) Guard to operate, SLPP must have already been configured in the core of the network.

The following information explains how to configure SLPP Guard on ExtremeXOS switches.

Enable SLPP on the desired ports using the following command:
enable slpp guard ports [port_list | all]
Note
To view the SLPP status of ports, use the show slpp guard {ports port_list} {disabled-ports} command.
(Optional) Set the recovery timeout period using the following command:
configure slpp guard [ports [port_list | all] recovery-timeout [seconds | none]
After the configured timeout value set by this command expires (associated with each port), the port is automatically re-enabled.
(Optional) Configure the Ethertype for SLPP Guard using the following command:
configure slpp guard ethertype hex
This command configures the Ethertype that the SLPP Guard feature uses to identify SLPP PDUs.

If you need to disable SLPP Guard on a port, use the following command:

disable slpp guard ports [port_list | all]

To view SLPP Guard status for selected ports or all SLPP Guard-disabled ports, use the following command:

show slpp guard {ports port_list} {disabled-ports}
