Operation Manual – DLDP
H3C S3100 Series Ethernet Switches
Chapter 1 DLDP Configuration
1-11
z
The interval for sending advertisement packets ranges from 1 to 100 seconds and
defaults to 5 seconds. You can adjust this setting as needed to enable DLDP to
respond in time to link failures. If the interval is too long, STP loops may occur
before unidirectional links are terminated; if the interval is too short, network traffic
may increase in vain and available bandwidth decreases. Normally, the interval is
shorter than one-third of the STP convergence time, which is generally 30
seconds.
z
DLDP does not process any LACP event, and treats each link in the aggregation
group as independent.
z
When connecting two DLDP-enabled devices, make sure the software running on
them is of the same version. Otherwise, DLDP may operate improperly.
z
When you use the
dldp enable/dldp disable
command in system view to
enable/disable DLDP on all optical ports of the switch, the configuration takes
effect on the existing optical ports, instead of those added subsequently.
z
Make sure the authentication mode and password configured on both sides are
the same for DLDP to operate properly.
z
When DLDP works in enhanced mode, the system can identify two types of
unidirectional links: one is caused by fiber cross-connection and the other is
caused by one fiber being not connected or being disconnected.
z
When DLDP works in normal mode, the system can identify unidirectional links
caused by fiber cross-connection.
z
When the device is busy with services and the CPU utilization is high, DLDP may
issue mistaken reports. You are recommended to configure the operating mode of
DLDP as manual after unidirectional links are detected, so as to reduce the
influence of mistaken reports.
1.3.2 Resetting DLDP State
You can reset the DLDP state for the ports shut down by DLDP due to unidirectional
links to enable DLDP detection again.
Note:
This function is only applicable to ports that are in DLDP down state.
