Usage Guidelines

SLPP is an application that detects loops in a Split Multi-link Trunking (SMLT) network. SLPP Guard is a complementary feature that helps prevent loops in networks by administratively disabling an edge port if a switch receive an SLPP PDU from an SMLT network.

This command configures the Ethernet type field of the packet that SLPP Guard uses to identify SLPP PDUs.

Example

The following example configures the SLPP Guard Ethertype as 0x8110:

# configure slpp guard ethertype 0x8110
