====== L2 Loop Protection on MikroTik interface ====== * * * We can use MikroTik feature "Loop-Protect" * Loop protect feature can prevent Layer2 loops by sending loop protect protocol packets and shutting down interfaces in case they receive loop protect packets * * * GOTO Terminal:: enabling LOOP Protection for Ethernet * * ## interface ethernet set loop-protect=on 2 * * * *** Three values "ON", "OFF" and "Default" ... default works as turned off * *** [2 is the number of Ethernet :: use command:: 'interface print' to see the number of interfaces] * * ** We can use it by VLAN interface also * * ## interface vlan set loop-protect=on 3 * * loop-protect-send-interval (time interval; Default: 5m) * Sets how often loop protect packets are sent on selected interface. * * loop-protect-disable-time (time interval | 0; Default: 5m) * Sets how long selected interface is disabled when loop is detected. 0 - forever. *
