Use this page to view combined statistical counters that provide an overview of all loop detection instances on the unit combined.

To view a global summary of all loop detection counters

Access the page Loop Detection ►Counters ►Global.
The Loop Detection Global Counters page opens. The combined statistics for all existing loop detection instances are displayed.
Notes: To reset the counters for all loop detection instance to zero, click the Clear button above the grid. Select the Poll Every n Seconds box, then enter a number representing the frequency with which the loop detection instance’s counters will be automatically refreshed. You can also update the counters manually by clicking the Refresh button.

For more information on specific parameters, refer to the following table.

Loop Detection Global Counters (Loop Detection ►Counters ►Global)

Parameter	Description
Sent Frames	The total number of loop detection beacons that have been transmitted by this instance, but have not returned. This value is calculated for the period since either the loop detection instance was created or since the counters were last cleared, whichever is more recent.
Received Frames	The total number of loop detection beacons that have been transmitted and received by this instance. This value is calculated for the period since either the loop detection instance was created or since the counters were last cleared, whichever is more recent. Note: The number of received frames does not always equal the number of loop detected frames. A frame could be received for reasons other than a detected loop, such as a change of VLAN ID.
Loop Detected Frames	The total number of loop detection beacons transmitted by this instance that have successfully detected a loop on the specified resource. This value is calculated for the period since either the loop detection instance was created or since the counters were last cleared, whichever is more recent.
