Run the
display stp
command to check statistics about the received TC packets and TCN packets.

If a large number of TC packets and TCN packets are received, run the
stp tc-protection
command in the system view to suppress TC-BPDUs. After this command is used, only three
TC packets are processed within a Hello interval by default. Run the
stp tc-protection
threshold
command to set the maximum number of TC packets that can be processed. To
change the hello interval, run the
stp timer hello
command.

If a small number of TC packets are received, go to step 4.
Step 4
Check whether loops occur on the network.
When multiple interfaces of a device belong to the same VLAN, if a loop occurs between two
interfaces, packets are forwarded only between these interfaces in the VLAN. Consequently,
CPU usage of the device becomes high.
Run the
display current-configuration
command to check whether the device is enabled to
generate an alarm when MAC address flapping is detected.
#
loop-detect eth-loop alarm-only
#
l
If this function is not configured, run the
loop-detect eth-loop alarm-only
command to
configure this function. If a loop occurs on the network, an alarm is generated when two
interfaces of the device learn the same MAC address entry. For example:
Feb 22 2011 18:42:50 Huawei
L2IFPPI/4/MAC_FLAPPING_ALARM
:OID
1.3.6.1.4.1.2011.5.25.42.2.1.7.12The mac-address has flap value .
(L2IfPort=0,entPhysicalIndex=0, BaseTrapSeverity=4, BaseTrapProbableCause=549,
BaseTrapEventType=1, MacAdd=0000-c0a8-0101,vlanid=100,
FormerIfDescName=Ethernet1/0/0,CurrentIfDescName=Ethernet1/0/1,DeviceName=HUAWE
I)
Check the interface connection and networking information based on the alarm:
–
If no ring network is required, shut down one of the two interfaces based on the networking
diagram.
–
If the ring network is required, disable loop detection and enable loop prevention
protocols, such as STP.
l
If the
loop-detect eth-loop alarm-only
command is used on the device but no alarm is
generated, go to step 5.
