xStack® DGS-3620 Series Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide Loopback Detection Settings The Loopback Detection (LBD) function is used to detect the loop created by a specific port. This feature is used to temporarily shut down a port on the Switch when a CTP (Configuration Testing Protocol) packet has been looped back to the Switch. When the Switch detects CTP packets received from a port or a VLAN, this signifies a loop on the network. The Switch will automatically block the port or the VLAN and send an alert to the administrator. The Loopback Detection port will restart (change to normal state) when the Loopback Detection Recover Time times out. The Loopback Detection function can be implemented on a range of ports at a time. The user may enable or disable this function using the drop-down menu. To view this window, click Security > Loopback Detection Settings as shown below: Figure 8-58 Loopback Detection Settings window The fields that can be configured are described below: Parameter Description Loopback Detection State Mode Trap State Log State Interval (1-32767) Recover Time (0 or 601000000) Unit Use the radio button to enable or disable loopback detection.
