Mode
This field indicates what
ZULD
will do when a unidirectional link is detected. In
Normal
mode,
ZULD
only sends a syslog and trap when it detects a unidirectional link. In
Aggressive
mode,
ZULD
shuts down the port (puts it into an
ErrDisable
state) as well as
sends a syslog and trap when it detects a unidirectional link.
Probe Time
Probe time is the length of time that
ZULD
waits before declaring that a link is
unidirectional. When the probe time expires, and one port (either on the Switch or the
connected device) still has not received an OAMPDU, then
ZULD
declares that the link is
unidirectional.
Link State
This field shows the following link states:
•
Linkdown
: This is an initialization state, where the port is not yet up.
•
Probe
: This indicates that
ZULD
is discovering the connected device on this link.
•
Bidirectional
: Traffic sent by the Switch is received by the connected device on this
link, and traffic from the connected device on this link is received by the Switch.
•
Unidirectional
: The state of the link between the port and its connected port cannot
be determined either because no ZULD message was received, or one port is not
capable of sending traffic.
•
Shutdown
: The port has been shut down because its link with the connected device is
unidirectional and
ZULD
is in
Aggressive
mode.
Remote Operation
This field displays whether ZULD is enabled or disabled on the connected device on this
link. ZULD must be enabled on the connected device and on the port that is connecting
to the Switch.
Remote MAC Addr
This is the MAC address of the port on the connected device to which the port of the
Switch is connected.
Remote Port
This is the port number of the port on the connected device to which the port of the Switch
is connected.
