Q3. Why does the switch fail to detect and block a loop

from occurring in the network topology when Loop

Prevention is enabled?

When connecting this switch to other non-terminal devices, such as

switches from other brands, and those devices cannot properly process

or forward loop detection packets, the Loop Prevention function may be

limited. It is recommended to connect terminal devices directly to this

switch or use non-terminal devices with full forwarding capability.
