2. 2 Loop Back Detection (LBD) Overview Whats difference between port-Base LBD and VLAN-Base LBD Hands-on Agenda

3. 3 Loop Back Detection Overview LBD4.0 is a new version Loopback Detection algorithm which will be implemented in DES-3500 R5 The main differences between STP loopback detection (LBD2.0) and latest LBD (LBD 4.0) function 1. STP independent For LBD2.0 – the STP loopback detection uses BPDU as to detect the loop, it's necessary to enable the STP to make lbd feature work. For LBD 4.0 – we use another packet (Multicast) type to detect the loop, and we think that this is a better solution than the " STP - dependent " one. 2. Options for action when the loop occurs: Action 1: shut down the port Action 2: shut down the individual vlan with loop

4. 4 Loop Back Detection Overview The idea comes from telecom customer's request. If the port belongs to multiple vlan and it's shut down by lbd because of loop happening in one of the vlans, then all the other vlan members / devices underneath that port will be impacted. In order to prevent such impact, we provide two selectable actions for users: 1. Block the traffic from the loop happening vlan without port shut down. The benifit is, there won't influence to those devices or members of other vlans because the port won't be shut down. The side effect is, since the port is not shut down, the CPU may still receive the traffic including BPDU or ARP/broadcast packets to cause its high loading. Then we'll need to enable safeguard engine for help to protect the CPU. 2. Port shut down ( as the default ) it's completely the same behavior as the original one. v1v2v3

5. 5 Loop Back Detection Overview It will send in every 10 secs to a multicast address:(cf:00:00:00:00:00) by default to see if a same packet receive on a originated interface.

6. 6 DES-3526 Port Base LBD Example If the switch get the multicast packet sent from itself from the port which would be blocked by switch. Port Base LBD Example HUB/Switch Command Example enable loopdetect config loopdetect ports 1-26 state enabled config loopdetect mode port-based Port 1

9. 9 DES-3526-2 VLAN Base LBD Example If the switch get the multicast packet sent from port 26, it will block all traffic from the VLAN 1 of DES-3526-2 VLAN Base LBD Example HUB/Switch V1 Port 1-8, 26 Tag port 26 DES-3526-1 V2 Port 9-16,26 V3 Port 17-26 V1 Port 1-8, 26 V2 Port 9-16,26 V3 Port 17-26 Port 1 Port 8 Port 23

12. 12 Loop Back Detection Test Result Test Result: 1.For port base LBD, the switch will block the port which receive the loopback multicast packet sent from itself. 2.For VLAN base LBD, the switch will block the VLAN traffic when the switch receives the loopback multicast packet sent from itself from that VLAN.
