Chapter 14 Loop Guard • It will receive broadcast messages sent out from the switch in loop state. • It will receive its own broadcast messages that it sends out as they loop back. It will then re-broadcast those messages again. The following figure shows port N on switch A connected to switch B. Switch B is in loop state. When broadcast or multicast packets leave port N and reach switch B, they are sent back to port N on A as they are rebroadcast from B. Figure 44 Switch in Loop State A B N The loop guard feature checks to see if a loop guard enabled port is connected to a switch in loop state. This is accomplished by periodically sending a probe packet and seeing if the packet returns on the same port. If this is the case, the Switch will shut down the port connected to the switch in loop state. The following figure shows a loop guard enabled port N on switch A sending a probe packet P to switch B. Since switch B is in loop state, the probe packet P returns to port N on A. The Switch then shuts down port N to ensure that the rest of the network is not affected by the switch in loop state. Figure 45 Loop Guard - Probe Packet A B P N P The Switch also shuts down port N if the probe packet returns to switch A on any other port. In other words loop guard also protects against standard network loops. 82 GS1510 Series User's Guide
