Operating Notes
â– The receiver-action option can be configured on a per-port basis and can
only be enabled after loop protection has been enabled on the port. All
other configuration options (disable-timer, trap loop-detected, and transmit
interval) are global.
â– The trap option refers to a SNMP trap.
â– Regardless of how the receiver-action and trap options are configured, all
detected loops will be logged in the switch’s event log.
â– The no loop-protect <port> command will not remove a receive-action
configuration line from the running configuration unless this option is set
to receive-action send-disable.
â– If loop-protect is enabled in port mode, it cannot also be enabled in VLAN
mode, and vice-versa.
