loop-detect eth-loop alarm disable

Usage Scenario

Generally, redundant links are used on an Ethernet switching network to provide link backup and enhance network reliability. The use of redundant links, however, may produce loops and cause broadcast storms and MAC address hopping. As a result, the communication quality deteriorates, and communication may even be interrupted. To resolve the loop problem, the global MAC hopping-based loop detection alarm function must be configured.

By default, the global MAC hopping-based loop detection alarm function is enabled. You can run the loop-detect eth-loop command to configure loop detection alarm parameters and run the loop-detect eth-loop alarm disable command to disable the global MAC hopping-based loop detection alarm function.

Configuration Impact

The loop-detect eth-loop alarm disable command takes effect on all forwarding domains. However, if a forwarding domain has had the MAC flapping-based loop detection alarm function configured, this configuration takes precedence over that configured in the system view. For example, if the MAC flapping-based loop detection alarm function has been configured in the VSI view, this function takes effect, irrespective of whether this function is configured in the system view.

This command is supported only on the admin VS.
