MikroTik Loop Protect

This document discusses MikroTik's Loop Protect feature. It provides information about the trainer, Haydar Fadel, including his certifications. It then explains what loop protect is and how it works to prevent layer 2 loops by shutting down interfaces that receive loop protect packets from themselves. The document outlines the configuration options for loop protect, including enabling it on an interface, setting the packet send interval, and disable time. It concludes with an example command to enable loop protect on Ethernet port 5.

MikroTik Loop Protect Feature

CLOUD FOR NETWORK 4


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 originated from themself.
 The feature works by checking source MAC address of received loop protect packet against MAC
addresses of loop protect enabled interfaces.
 If the match is found, loop protect disables the interface which received the loop protect packet.
 Log message warns about this event and interface is marked with a loop protect comment by system.
 RouterOS loop protect feature can be used on bridged interfaces as well as on ethernet interfaces which
are set for switching in RouterBoard switch chips.
 Loop protect works on ethernet, vlan, eoip and eoipv6 interfaces.
 It supports adjusting loop protect packet sending interval and interface disable time.
 Configuration changes or expiration of disable time resets loop protection on interface.

Loop Protect

Property Description
loop-protect (on | off | default;Default: default) Enables or disables loop protect on selected interface.
default works as turned off.
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.
