DLDP neighbor
state
Description
Unidirectional
A neighbor is in this state when the link connecting it is detected
to be a unidirectional link. After a device transits to this state, the
corresponding neighbor entries maintained on other devices are
removed.

Note that:
z
DLDP works only when the link is up.

To ensure unidirectional links can be detected, make sure these settings are the
same on the both sides: DLDP state (enabled/disabled), the interval for sending
Advertisement packets, authentication mode, and password.
z
Keep the interval for sending Advertisement packets adequate to enable
unidirectional links to be detected in time. If the interval is too long, unidirectional
links cannot be terminated in time; if the interval is too short, network traffic may
increase in vain.
z
LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) events have no effect on DLDP. Links
in an aggregation group are treated individually in DLDP.
z
802.1X has no effect on DLDP.
z
When connecting two DLDP-enabled devices, make sure the DLDP version ID
fields of the DLDP packets exchanged between the two devices are the same.
Otherwise, DLDP may operate improperly.
