Hi all,

Does anyone know if there is a Cisco catalyst equivalent of the HP Procurve 
loop-protect command?

I am trying to find a way of protecting our Catalysts from someone replacing an 
STP enabled switch connected via an access port with a "dumb hub".

The "spanning-tree guard loop" is one alternative, but that just checks whether 
or not BPDUs are being received. The HP loop-protect actually sends out packets 
with its own identifier, and shuts down ports if it see this packet come back 
to it.

Google mentioned using the Cisco "keepalive" interface command, but I don't see 
how that would help the situation.

Any thoughts?


Thanks

Andrew
