z

You can adjust the interval of sending advertisement packets in different network circumstances,
so that DLDP can respond rapidly to link failure. The interval must be shorter than one-third of the
STP convergence time, which is generally 30 seconds. If too long an interval is set, an STP loop
may occur before DLDP shut down unidirectional links. On the contrary, if too short an interval is
set, network traffic increases, and port bandwidth is reduced.

z

DLDP does not process any LACP event, and treats each link in the aggregation group as
independent.

DLDP Configuration

DLDP Configuration Tasks

Follow these steps to configure DLDP:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Enable DLDP globally

dldp enable

Enter Ethernet
port view

Interface interface-type
interface-number

Enable
DLDP

Enable
DLDP on
a port

Enable DLDP on a
port

dldp enable

Required. By default, DLDP is
disabled

Set the authentication mode and password

dldp authentication-mode
{ none | simple
simple-password

| md5

md5-password

}

Optional. By default, the
authentication mode is none

Set the interval of sending DLDP packets

dldp interval integer

Optional. By default, the
interval is 5 seconds.

Set the delaydown timer

dldp delaydown-timer

delaydown-time

Optional
By default, the delaydown
timer expires after 1 second it
is triggered.

Set the DLDP handling mode when an
unidirectional link is detected

dldp
unidirectional-shutdown
{ auto | manual }

Optional. By default, the
handling mode is auto.

Set the DLDP operating mode

dldp work-mode

{ enhance |

normal

}

Optional. By default, DLDP
works in normal mode.

Enter Ethernet port view

interface interface-type
interface-number

Display the configuration information about
the DLDP-enabled ports

display dldp

{ unit-id |

interface-type
interface-number

}

You can execute this
command in any view.

z

When you use the dldp enable/dldp disable command in system view to enable/disable DLDP
globally on all optical ports of the device, this command is only valid for existing optical ports on the
device, however, it is not valid for those added subsequently.

z

DLDP can operate normally only when the same authentication mode and password are set for
local and peer ports.
