loop-detection

Enables the loop detection (LD) feature at the interface level, VLAN, or bridge domain (BD) level, and enters Protocol Loop Detection configuration mode.

Syntax

loop-detection
no loop-detection

Command Default

This feature is disabled.

Modes

Interface subtype configuration mode (Ethernet or port-channel)

VLAN configuration mode

Bridge domain configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

When configured at the interface level, this command applies to LD strict mode.

When configured at the VLAN level, this command is applied to all ports in the VLAN.

When configured at the bridge domain (BD) level this command is applied to all the attachment circuit (AC) logical interfaces (LIFs) and VXLAN tunnels under the BD.

Use the no form of this command to disable loop detection at the interface, VLAN, or BD level.

Examples

The following example enables loop detection on an Ethernet interface and enters Protocol Loop Detection configuration mode:

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 2/6
device(conf-if-eth-2/6)# loop-detection
device(config-loop-detect)# 

The following example disables loop detection on an Ethernet interface.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface ethernet 2/6
device(conf-if-eth-2/6)# no loop-detection

The following example enables loop detection on a port-channel interface and enters Protocol Loop Detection configuration mode.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# interface port-channel 20
device(config-port-channel-20)# loop-detection
device(config-loop-detect)# 

The following example enables loop detection on a VLAN and enters Protocol Loop Detection configuration mode.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# vlan 5
device(config-vlan-5)# loop-detection
device(config-loop-detect)# 

The following example enables loop detection on a BD and enters Protocol Loop Detection configuration mode.

device# configure terminal
device(config)# bridge-domain 8
device(config-bridge-domain-8)# loop-detection
device(config-loop-detect)#
