Timer
Description
DelayDown timer
When a device in the active, advertisement, or probe
DLDP state receives a port down message, it does not
removes the corresponding neighbor immediately,
neither does it changes to the inactive state. Instead, it
changes to the delaydown state first.
When a device changes to the delaydown state, the
related DLDP neighbor information remains, and the
DelayDown timer is triggered. The DelayDown timer is
configurable and ranges from 1 to 5 seconds.
A device in the delaydown state only responds to port
up messages.
A device in the delaydown state resumes its original
DLDP state if it receives a port up message before the
delaydown timer expires. Otherwise, it removes the
DLDP neighbor information and changes to the inactive
state.
1.2.4 DLDP Operating Mode
DLDP can operate in two modes: normal and enhanced.

1.2.5 DLDP Neighbor State
A DLDP neighbor can be in one of these two states: two way and unknown. You can
check the state of a DLDP neighbor by using the
display dldp
command.
