Switch GS350-8DP :

If ethernet 5 and 6 connected to each others via Cat5 3mts cable? 

Observed continue packet is receiving on both port form switch. Is any way to disable traffic ? 

[Kasun Bandara]

STP will block the ports once it detected the loop is there. if you disables STP, that will be give loop in switch and can introduce storms.

[jkaushik]

thanks, can you share commands to disable STP on ethernet 5 and 6 ports.

[Khaled Douma]

Are you planning to test looping for studying purposes? if that's the case don't test it in a production environment.

If you disabled the STP in the switch will occur loop/storm issues
