When loop protection is enabled before STP, and if there is an L2 loop, then the loop will be detected and the port will be disabled.
When STP is before loop protection, and if there is a L2 loop, then the port will be moved to the
blocked state by STP. When a port is blocked, the loop protection packet will not reach the sending switch, and the loop will not be detected by loop protection. When multiple instances of STP are configured and different spanning trees are formed for different instances, the PSPO state will be
forwarding. In this case, loop- protection will consider those ports as normal forwarding ports and will override the STP states.
When both STP and loop protection are enabled simultaneously, loop protection takes the priority over STP.
MVRP and the loop protection interoperate with each other. However, dynamic VLANs cannot be tagged to a port through user configuration. Therefore, it is not possible to configure a dynamic VLAN as a loop protection enabled VLAN.
If MCLAG has marked a port as transmit disable (mclag_pdu_tx_disable is set to true), then loop-protect will not transmit packets on the port. Similarly, if the
loop_detect_source column is set to
mclag then loop protection will not reenable the port when the re-enable timer expires on that port.
