11.4 UDLD
11.4.1 Introduction
UniDirectional Link Detection (UDLD) is used to monitor configurations of the physical
connection by the fiber or Ethernet cable. When a unidirectional link (transmitting data in
only one direction) is present, UDLD can detect it, shut down the corresponding interface, and
send a Trap. The unidirectional link may cause various problems, such as the spanning tree
problems which may cause a loop.
11.4.2 Preparing for configurations
Scenario
When a unidirectional link (transmitting data in only one direction) is present, UDLD can
detect the fault, shut down the corresponding interface, and send a Trap.
Prerequisite
Devices at both ends of the link should support UDLD.
