My question is probably too simple for this website but I'm sure someone could quickly help me, I couldn't find anything online about this. I'm currently looking at unmanaged switches for my home network and found a model I'm interested in: Buffalo 8-Port Desktop Gigabit Green Ethernet Switch (BS-GU2008).
However, I find interesting to see that there is an on/off loop detection switch. It's not a feature I really need on a 8-port switch but I noticed it's just enabled on most other consumer-grade switches without any option to turn it off. Why would I need to turn this feature off, am I squeezing any kind of extra performance in doing so?
It's an unmanaged switch. Thanks for the info! – dnLL – 2018-06-06T14:58:50.220
