Overview of Layer 3 Loop Detection

Definition

Layer 3 loop detection quickly detects whether routing loops exist between networks and reports alarms when detecting a routing loop.

Purpose

Layer 3 loop detection reports alarms when detecting a routing loop so that you can take rapid measures to ensure proper service running.

Benefits

  • Rapidly locates the route that encounters a loop, improving the loop locating efficiency.
  • Sends a trap to the NMS after detecting a routing loop so that effective measures can be taken to minimize service loss and prevent major network faults.
