Chapter 3: Configuration
3.5 Loop Detection
Loop detection is used to detect the presence of traffic. When a switch receives a packet’s (looping detection frame) MAC
address that’s the same as the MAC address from the port, loop detection occurs. The port will be locked when it receives the
looping detection frames. To restore the locked port, delete the looping path, then click on “Resume.”
Configuration
The section describes how to set Loop Detection.
Web Interface
To configure the Loop detection parameters in the Web interface:
1. Click Configuration, Loop detection, Configuration.
2. Enable or disable the port loop detection.
3. Click on the Save button to save the setting.
4. To cancel the setting, click the Reset button. The loop detection parameters will revert to their previously saved values.

Parameter description:
• Port No: Display the port number (1–10).
• Detection Port - Enable: When you select a port and enable that port’s loop detection, the port can detect loops. If it detects
a loop, the port will be locked. If it does not detect a loop, the port remains unlocked.
• Locked Port - Resume: To unlock the port, choose Resume.
