Step 5
Run:
dldp compatible-mode local-mac
The DLDP packets sent in the DLDP compatible mode contain MAC addresses.
After the DLDP compatible mode is enabled on the S3700, the peer device of the S3700 may
discover multiple neighbors, causing DLDP flapping. The
dldp compatible-mode local-mac
command can prevent this problem.
NOTE
At least one bit in the MAC address must be 0, and the MAC address cannot be a multicast MAC address.

1.2.5 (Optional) Setting the Interval for Sending Advertisement
Packets
Context
Do as follows on the S3700 that needs to run DLDP.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
dldp interval
time
The interval for sending Advertisement packets is set.
By default, the interval for sending Advertisement packets is 5 seconds.
The interval for sending Advertisement packets must be smaller than one third of the STP
convergence time. If the interval is too long, STP loops occur before a unidirectional link is shut
down on a DLDP interface. If the interval is too short, traffic on the network increases.
NOTE
Ensure that the interval for sending Advertisement packets is the same on the local and remote devices that
are connected through fibers or copper twisted pairs.
