M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches The following table describes the nonconfigurable information that the MVRP Global Statistics page displays. Table 103. MVRP Statistics Field Interface Frames Received Bad Header Bad Format Frames Transmitted Transmission Failures Message Queue Failures Registration Failures Description In the MVRP Statistics table, this field identifies the interface associated with the rest of the data in the row. The number of MVRP frames that were received on the switch. The number of MVRP frames with bad headers that were received on the switch. The number of MVRP frames with bad PDUs body formats that were received on the switch. The number of MVRP frames that were transmitted on the switch. The number of MVRP frames that the switch failed to transmit. The number of messages that failed to be added to the queue. The number of MVRP frames that failed to register on a device or particular interface. Manage Loop Protection Loop protection can detect physical and logical loops between Ethernet ports on a device. About Loop Protection Loops inside a network are costly because they consume resources and reduce the performance of the network. Detecting loops manually can be cumbersome. The switch can automatically identify loops in the network. You can enable loop protection per port or globally. If loop protection is enabled, the switch sends predefined protocol data unit (PDU) packets to a Layer 2 multicast destination address (09:00:09:09:13:A6) on all ports for which the feature is enabled. You can selectively disable PDU packet transmission for loop protection on specific ports even while port loop protection is enabled. If the switch receives a packet with the previously mentioned multicast destination address, the source MAC address in the packet is compared with the MAC address of the switch. If the MAC address does not match, the packet is forwarded to all ports that are members of the same VLAN, just like any other multicast packet. The packet is not forwarded to the port from which it was received. Configure Switching Information 290 User Manual
