udld
udld
Use the
udld
global configuration command on the switch stack or on a standalone switch to enable
aggressive or normal mode in the UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) and to set the configurable
message timer time. Use the
no
form of the command to disable aggressive or normal mode UDLD on
all fiber-optic ports.

Syntax Description
Defaults

Command History
Usage Guidelines
UDLD supports two modes of operation: normal (the default) and aggressive. In normal mode, UDLD
detects unidirectional links due to misconnected interfaces on fiber-optic connections. In aggressive
mode, UDLD also detects unidirectional links due to one-way traffic on fiber-optic and twisted-pair
links and due to misconnected interfaces on fiber-optic links. For information about normal and
aggressive modes, see the “Understanding UDLD” section in the software configuration guide for this
release.
If you change the message time between probe packets, you are making a trade-off between the detection
speed and the CPU load. By decreasing the time, you can make the detection-response faster but increase
the load on the CPU.
This command affects fiber-optic interfaces only. Use the
udld
interface configuration command to
enable UDLD on other interface types.
You can use these commands to reset an interface shut down by UDLD:
•
The
udld reset
privileged EXEC command to reset all interfaces shut down by UDLD
•
The
shutdown
and
no shutdown
interface configuration commands
•
The
no udld enable
global configuration command followed by the
udld
{
aggressive
|
enable
}
global configuration command to re-enable UDLD globally
aggressive
Enable UDLD in aggressive mode on all fiber-optic interfaces.
enable
Enable UDLD in normal mode on all fiber-optic interfaces.
message time
message-timer-interval
Configure the period of time between UDLD probe messages on ports that
are in the advertisement phase and are determined to be bidirectional. The
range is 1 to 90 seconds.
