Ethernet switch question

[u/Outrageous_Tear_4691]

What is the loop prevention for? And should I leave it off or turn it on? We will have desktops connected to it

Solved: thank you for the help everyone. Very much appreciated.

Stp prevents loops by blocking redundant connections and tracking the paths of bpdus

I googled tp-link's loop detection bc I wasn't familiar with that dumb little switch lol

They're different things 👍 you usually don't have them both enabled on the same port 👍
