Hi everyone!
As I understood, " loopguard" is a proprietary Cisco feature and it seems to me that it has an important role in running STP.
So ... I have two questions:
1- Does anyone know the equivalent of the loopgaurd feature in IEEE 802.1D standard? Does an IEEE standard support loopguard-like feature?
2- Does MSTP or RSTP or PVST or... need loopgaurd feature too?
Thanks,
Amir
Hello
loop guard isn’t just restricted to 802.1d - pvst
its also applicable in
802.1w - rpvst+
802.1s MST
Thank you, Paul, for your response!
I took a look at 802.1 d and 802.1 Q documents quickly and I didn't find anything related to loopguard ( or even unidirectional link detection), so I guess these standards don't cover loopguard or something like that, right?
