Loop Protecion
Hi All,
Hope you can clear / explain some problem we got.
We've got about 20 HP 1810-24G switches in our network. About 10 of them occasionally log that loop protection has enabled on port 23 (the uplink). But there is no loop in the network, also the log comes at random times on different switches. (so not at the same time). Some times for days nothing, and then about 10 time after each other. Also in the evening or at night, when nobody is at work.
We also got 6 HP 6200 fiber connection switches with STP enabled, these switches log nothing about loops of any kind.
In the attached picture you can see only one device is connected, but the uplink gives LOOP_PROT.
The are all on firmware P2.2
Is it buggy? of Faulty? Or.....
Hope to hear from you guys.
Arno

Re: Loop Protecion
Hi,
Thank you for taking time to answer my question. But I don't understand what you are trying to say...
You copied a piece from a manual?
Can you clarify this more please?
thank you.

Re: Loop Protecion
It is my understanding you only enable loop protection on your "access" ports, not your uplinks. It's meant to keep the end user from creating a loop if they plug up a switch and create a loop. We do not enable loop protect on our uplink ports, only end user device ports.
