Description on DLDP neighbor states
DLDP neighbor state
Description
Unknown
A neighbor is in this state when it is just detected and is being probed. A
neighbor is in this state only when it is being probed. It transits to Two way state
or Unidirectional state after the probe operation finishes.
Two way
A neighbor is in this state after it receives response from its peer. This state
indicates the link is a two-way link.
Unidirectional
A neighbor is in this state when the link connecting it is detected to be a
unidirectional link. After a switch transits to this state, the corresponding
neighbor entries maintained on other devices are removed.

CAUTION:
•
To ensure that DLDP works properly on a link, you must configure the full duplex mode for the ports at
two ends of the link, and configure a speed for the two ports, rather than letting them negotiate a speed.
For more information about the
duplex
and
speed
commands, see the
Layer 2—LAN Switching
Command Reference.
•
For DLDP to work properly, enable DLDP on both sides and make sure these settings are consistent: the
interval to send Advertisement packets, DLDP authentication mode, and password.
•
DLDP does not process any link aggregation control protocol (LACP) events. The links in an aggregation
are treated as individual links in DLDP.
•
For DLDP to operate properly, make sure the DLDP version running on devices on the two sides are the
same.
Enabling DLDP
To properly configure DLDP on the switch, enable DLDP globally, and then enable it on each port.
Follow these steps to enable DLDP:
