The invention provides a method and a device for eliminating a loop in a resilient packet ring (RPR) network. According to the method, a loop exists between nodes of different resilient packet rings (RPRs) in the RPR ring network, each node of the loop enables rapid ring protection protocol (RRPP) configuration, two ports of each node are provided with RRPP rings, a node on an RRPP ring is specified as an RRPP master node, the RRPP master node specifies a port connected with the RRPP ring as a main port and the other port as an auxiliary port, when the RRPP ring is positioned in a health status, the main port is opened and the auxiliary port is blocked, when the blocked auxiliary port is an RPR logic port, the RRPP master node prevents the RPR connected with the auxiliary port from executing insert and transit operation of data messages but executes the transit operation of RRPP messages on the RPR connected with the auxiliary port. By the method and the device, the loop in the RPR network is easily and effectively eliminated; and because the RRPP is configured, faults can be subjected to quick protection switching.
