Set the interval to send
Advertisement packets

dldp interval time

Optional
5 seconds by default

NOTE:

The interval sending Advertisement packets applies to all DLDP-enabled ports.

To enable DLDP to operate properly, make sure the intervals to send Advertisement packets on both sides
of a link are the same.

Setting the delaydown timer

On some ports, when the Tx line fails, the port goes down and then comes up again, causing optical

signal jitters on the Rx line. When a port goes down due to a Tx failure, the device transits to the

DelayDown state instead of the Inactive state to prevent the corresponding neighbor entries from being

removed. At the same time, the device triggers the DelayDown timer. If the port goes up before the timer

expires, the device restores the original state; if the port remains down when the timer expires, the device
transits to the Inactive state.

DelayDown timer setting applies to all DLDP-enabled ports.

Setting the port shutdown mode

On detecting a unidirectional link, the ports can be shut down in one of the following two modes.

Manual mode. This mode applies to low performance networks, where normal links may be treated
as unidirectional links. It protects data traffic transmission against false unidirectional links. In this

mode, DLDP only detects unidirectional links but does not automatically shut down unidirectional

link ports. Instead, the DLDP state machine generates log and traps to prompt you to manually shut
down unidirectional link ports with the shutdown command. H3C recommends that you do as

prompted. Then the DLDP state machine transits to the Disable state.

Auto mode. In this mode, when a unidirectional link is detected, DLDP transits to Disable state,
generates log and traps, and sets the port state to DLDP Down.
