Configuration Considerations
■
UDLD is configured on a per-port basis and must be enabled at both ends of the link. See the
note below for a list of ProCurve switches that support UDLD.
■
To configure UDLD on a trunk group, you must configure the feature on each port of the
group individually. Configuring UDLD on a trunk group’s primary port enables the feature
on that port only.
■
Dynamic trunking is not supported. If you want to configure a trunk group that contains
ports on which UDLD is enabled, you must remove the UDLD configuration from the ports.
After you create the trunk group, you can re-add the UDLD configuration.
N o t e
UDLD interoperates with the following ProCurve switch series: 2600, 2800, 3400, 3500, 4200, 5300,
5400, 6200, 6400, and 9300. Consult the release notes and current manuals for required software
versions.
Configuring UDLD
The following commands allow you to configure UDLD via the CLI.
Syntax:
[no] interface <
port-list
> link-keepalive
Enables UDLD on a port or range of ports.
To disable the feature, enter the
no
form of the command.
Default: UDLD disabled
Syntax:
link-keepalive interval <
interval
>
Determines the time interval to send UDLD control packets. The <interval> param-
eter specifies how often the ports send a UDLD packet. You can specify from 10 –
100, in 100 ms increments, where 10 is 1 second, 11 is 1.1 seconds, and so on.
Default: 50 (5 seconds)
Syntax:
link-keepalive retries <
num
>
Determines the maximum number of retries to send UDLD control packets. The
<num> parameter specifies the maximum number of times the port will try the health
check. You can specify a value from 3 – 10.
Default: 5
Syntax:
[no] interface <
port-list
> link-keepalive vlan <
vid
>
Assigns a VLAN ID to a UDLD-enabled port for sending of tagged UDLD control
packets.Under default settings, untagged UDLD packets can still be transmitted and
received on tagged only ports—however, a warning message will be logged.
The
no
form of the command disables UDLD on the specified port(s).
Default: UDLD packets are untagged; tagged only ports will transmit and receive
untagged UDLD control packets
