dldp enable

Required

Disabled on a port by default

z

DLDP takes effect only on Ethernet interfaces (optical or copper).

z

DLDP can detect unidirectional links only after all physical links are connected. Therefore, before

enabling DLDP, make sure that optical fibers or copper twisted pairs are connected.

Setting DLDP Mode

There are two DLDP modes:

z

Normal mode: In this mode, DLDP does not actively detect neighbors when the corresponding

neighbor entries age out. The system can identify only one type of unidirectional links:

cross-connected fibers.

z

Enhanced mode: In this mode, DLDP actively detects neighbors when the corresponding

neighbor entries age out. The system can thus identify two types of unidirectional links:

cross-connected fibers and disconnected fibers.

Follow these steps to set DLDP mode:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks
