If you have considerable knowledge and experience with EAPS, you might find the EAPS loop
protection warning messages unnecessary. For more information, see the

If you configure EAPS
spatial reuse and disable the EAPS domain on a transit node, this may cause the master node’s fail
timer to expire and EAPS PDUs to no longer be forwarded through out the domain. If this occurs, make
sure the EAPS domain is enabled on all of the transit nodes. To confirm the current state of EAPS on the
switch, use the
show eaps
command.
Example

disable eaps
The switch displays the following warning message and prompts you to confirm this action:
WARNING: Disabling EAPS on the switch could cause a loop in the network!
