Hi all,

I run a nonprofit lan for a gaming community, we have 5 Summit 400-48t (48 port gigabit switches) and 1 x450e as the core

Now what we do is just use the default mgt vlan and create 4 port LAGS on the x450e that connect to each switch (so each switch has a 4 gigabit connection back to the core)

I also enable lbdetect on each switch, but what I want to know is what would be the best way to enable loop back incase some one plugs a LAG in the incorrect port on another switch? but I also dont want it to bring down the main 4 port lag between the switch.

Any help greatly appreciated.
