State

Indicates…

Active

DLDP is enabled and the link is up, or the neighbor entries have been cleared.

Advertisement

All neighbors are bi-directionally reachable or DLDP has been in active state for

more than five seconds. This is a relatively stable state where no unidirectional

link has been detected.

Probe

DLDP enters this state if it receives a packet from an unknown neighbor. In this

state, DLDP sends packets to check whether the link is unidirectional. As soon as

DLDP transits to this state, a probe timer starts and an echo timeout timer starts

for each neighbor to be probed.

Disable

A port enters this state when:

z

A unidirectional link is detected.

z

The contact with the neighbor in enhanced mode gets lost.

In this state, the port does not receive or send packets other than DLDPDUs.

DelayDown

A port in the Active, Advertisement, or Probe DLDP link state transits to this state

rather than removes the corresponding neighbor entry and transits to the Inactive

state when it detects a port-down event. When a port transits to this state, the

DelayDown timer is triggered.

DLDP timer

Description

Active timer

Determines the interval to send Advertisement packets with RSY tags, which

defaults to 1 second. In other words, a device in the active DLDP link state sends

one Advertisement packet with RSY tags every second by default. The maximum

number of advertisement packets with RSY tags that can be sent successively is

5.

Advertisement timer

Determines the interval to send common advertisement packets, which defaults to

5 seconds.

Probe timer

Determines the interval to send Probe packets, which defaults to 1 second. In

other words, a device in the probe state sends two Probe packets every second

by default. The maximum number of Probe packets that can be sent successively

is 10.
