功能

It prevent Layer2 loops by sending loop protect protocol packets and

shutting down interfaces in case they receive loop protect packets originated from themselves.

Works by

checking the source MAC address of the received loop protect packet against MAC addresses of loop protect enabled interfaces.

Loop Protect works on Ethernet, VLAN, EoIP, VxLAN interfaces and its packets are encapsulated with EtherType 0x9003.

Settings

• loop-protect: default works as turned off.
• Send Interval: 5s   # Default
• Disable Time: 5m   # Default

Even though loop-protect can work on interfaces that are added to a bridge,

it is still recommended to use (R/M)STP rather than loop-protect

since (R/M)STP is compatible with most switches STP variants provide much more configuration options to fine-tune your network.
