DLDP Introduction
The Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) can detect the link status of a fiber cable or twisted pair. On
detecting a unidirectional link, DLDP, as configured, can shut down the related port automatically or
prompt users to take actions to avoid network problems.
As a data link layer protocol, DLDP cooperates with physical layer protocols to monitor link status. While
the auto-negotiation mechanism provided by the physical layer detects physical signals and faults,
DLDP performs operations such as identifying peer devices, detecting unidirectional links, and shutting
down unreachable ports. The cooperation of physical layer protocols and DLDP ensures that
physical/logical unidirectional links can be detected and shut down and prevents failure of other
protocols such as STP. If both ends of a link are operating normally at the physical layer, DLDP detects
whether the link is correctly connected at the link layer and whether the two ends can exchange packets
properly. This is beyond the capability of the auto-negotiation mechanism at the physical layer.
DLDP Fundamentals
DLDP link states
A device is in one of these DLDP link states: Initial, Inactive, Active, Advertisement, Probe, Disable, and
DelayDown, as described in Table 1-1 .
Table 1-1 DLDP link states
State Indicates…
Initial DLDP is disabled.
Inactive DLDP is enabled but the link is down.
Active
DLDP is enabled and the link is up, or the neighbor entries have
been cleared.
Advertisement
All neighbors are bi-directionally reachable or DLDP has been in
active state for more than five seconds. This is a relatively state
where no unidirectional link has been detected.
