Loop detection

1. Summary

In this page you can edit the settings of the loop detection.
This function monitors whether a loop is occurring by sending its loop detection frame from the port and whether the frame returns to itself or not.

2. Top page

This is the top page for loop detection.

2.1. Loop detection basic settings

  • Displays the system settings of loop detection.

  • Resetting the loop detection status

    • You can immediately resolve the loop detection states (e.g., Blocking) by reset feature.

  • The table items are explained below.

    • Displays the loop detection settings for the entire system.

    • Displays the blocking interval after a loop is detected.

    • Press the "Setting" button to access a page where you can change the settings.

2.2. Loop detection settings

  • The loop detection setting and current loop detection status is shown for each LAN port.

  • Press the "Setting" button to access a page where you can change the settings of the selected LAN port.

  • If you press the "Specify all" button, the settings can be changed for all LAN ports whose check box contains a check mark.

  • Pressing the "Update" button will reacquire the current loop detection status for all LAN ports.

  • If you press the "Return to defaults" button, the settings will be initialized for all LAN ports whose check box contains a check mark.

    • The default loop detection setting for all ports is "Enabled".

  • If the settings do not use the loop detection for the entire system, loop detection settings for each LAN port cannot be made.

3. Loop detection basic settings page

In this page you can specify whether the loop detection is used for the entire system and the blocking interval.
Enter the settings, and then press the "Confirm" button.
If there are no mistakes in the setting confirmation screen, press the "OK" button.

3.1. Loop detection basic settings

  • Loop detection for the entire system

    • Enable

      • The loop detection will be enabled for the entire system.

    • Disable

      • The loop detection will be disabled for the entire system.

  • Blocking interval

    • Auto

      • When a loop is resolved, the loop detection state automatically returns to "Normal".

    • Specify interval

      • Even if the loop has already been resolved, the loop detection status keeps "Blocking" for the specified period from the time when the loop was detected.
