At its core, a Fiber Switching Loop is a specific type of network loop that occurs within an Ethernet Switch infrastructure where multiple switches are interconnected by Fiber Optic Cable.

Traffic originating from one switch should never be sent back to the same switch. However, loops can occur in certain scenarios, even if STP has been configured correctly.

Solved: How can loops be prevented in a network? What command can be issued to the core switch and all network switches to eliminate the loop and optimize network performance?

As the name suggests, spanning tree resolves loops in your network by creating a logical tree structure between the switches. One switch becomes the root of the tree, and is called the root

To provide link redundancy, two sets of two switches have an inter-switch link to their closest FortiSwitch neighbor with a second 10-GbE link, forming two distinct loops.

Shams described the types of loop detection correctly. Loose mode can be a bit tricky since it will disable ports if a control packet is looped back anywhere on the same vlan.
