Loopback detection configuration example
By default, Ethernet, VLAN, and aggregate interfaces are in DOWN state. Before configuring these
interfaces, use the undo shutdown command to bring them up.
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 67 , the network administrator typically shuts down GigabitEthernet 4/0/1 of Device
B to prevent loops in the network.
Configure loopback detection on Device A so that when a loop resulting from incorrect configuration
occurs, Device A can automatically shut down the looped port and remind the user to check the network
connections by printing log information and sending trap messages.

Configuring Device A
# Create VLAN 100, and then enable loopback detection on it.
