Hi knarfer,

Hi Eric,
1. L2 Loop protection is enabled
2. STP is enabled
3. we have 4 core switches in stack
on this stack we connect edge switches with lags. some of this switches are standalone other are in stack. the standalone switches are connected with 2 ports in a lag. the switches in stack are connected with 1 port on each switch in a lag configuration.
regards
Frank
Hi knarfer
As all of switches in your network support STP protocol, so we suggest disable L2 Loop Protection function, the STP function will protect no loop in the network topology.
By the way, the L2 Loop Protection function is used for the scenario that access switch not support STP(such as: connect one hub).
If you enable STP and L2 Loop Protection, it maybe cause some unpredictable errors.
Hope it helps!
I disable L2 loop protection, still the errors appear in the log
