Wouldn’t something like spanning-tree just down all ports on this?
Yes.
If it’s present, and loop guard is enabled, it would block the ports. This looks like an unmanaged switch so probably doesn’t have that feature.
Most of Netgear’s managed switch range have a loop guard function, even if they don’t do full STP.
Would be a shame if someone plugged this into a school network :)

omg! A rollercoaster tycoon reference in the wild!
Would the switch do anything here? Wouldn’t there need to be something else plugged in? Like a laptop or pc?
ttl=255
It doesnt even matter, TTL is only decreased when routing. Ethernet frames have no such concept.
Til. I thought switches would decrement ttl but that makes perfect sense.
Ah broadcast storms. The best kind of storms.
This is knot funny. Someone needs to ping the mods!
The post title adds so much I laughed mostly because of it.
Yes I do have kids why do you ask?
It’s a Euthanasia Coaster where the cars are 802.3 frames.
John Allen, who served as president of the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, inspired Urbonas with his description of the “ultimate” roller coaster as one that “sends out 24 people and they all come back dead”
This is how Scotty survived being trapped in that Dyson Sphere for all that time…
