Chapter 35 ULSM Configuration

35.1 Introduction to ULSM

ULSM (Uplink State Monitor) is used to process the port state synchronization. Each ULSM

group is made up of the uplink port and the downlink port, both the uplink port and the

downlink port may be multiple. The port may be a physical port or a port channel, but it can not

be a member port of a port channel, and each port only belongs to one ULSM group.

The uplink port is the monitored port of ULSM group. When all uplink ports are down or there

is no uplink port in ULSM group, ULSM group state is down. ULSM group state is up as long

as one uplink port is up.

The downlink port is the controlled port, its state changes along with Up/Down of ULSM group

and is always the same with ULSM group state.

ULSM associates with ULPP to enable the downstream device to apperceive the link problem

of the upstream device and process correctly. As the picture illustrated, SwitchA configures

ULPP, here the traffic is forwarded by port A1. If the link between SwitchB and Switch D has

the problem, SwitchA can not apperceive the problem of the upstream link and sequentially

forward the traffic from port A1, cause traffic losing.

Configuring ULSM on SwitchB can solve the above problems. The steps are: set port B5 as

the uplink port of ULSM group, port B6 as the downlink port. When the link between SwitchB

and SwitchD has the problem, both the downlink port B6 and the state of ULSM group are

down. It causes Switch A on which ULPP is configured to process uplink switchover and avoid

the data dropped.
