catching loops on non-managed switches

https://imgur.com/a/ZzfmxD5

Hello,

I wonder if someone can help me out with a HP Procurve -> layer2 switch situation.

I have to put up with some users plugging cheap layer 2 switches into our network. Ideally I would just stop them right there and disable the port, but I'm not allowed to.

If a loop is created on the cheap none-managed switch, loop-protect doesn't stop it.

Do you guys know of any HP procurve commands that can detect the downstream loop and disable the port?

PS: in the case of a loop, I am OK with shutting down that segment of the net.

TIA
