Syntax Description

slpp Specifies enabling SLPP.

ports Specifies selecting ports on which to enable SLPP guard.
port_list Selects which ports to enable SLPP guard on.
all Specifies enabling SLPP guard on all ports.

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 receives an SLPP PDU from an SMLT network.

Example

The following example enables SLPP Guard on port 5:

# enable slpp guard ports 5
