DLDP neighbor state

Description

Unidirectional

A neighbor is in this state when the link connecting it is detected to be a unidirectional
link. After a device transits to this state, the corresponding neighbor entries
maintained on other devices are removed.

z

DLDP works only when the link is up.

z

To ensure unidirectional links can be detected, make sure these settings are the same on the both
sides: DLDP state (enabled/disabled), the interval for sending Advertisement packets,
authentication mode, and password.

z

Keep the interval for sending Advertisement packets adequate to enable unidirectional links to be
detected in time. If the interval is too long, unidirectional links cannot be terminated in time; if the
interval is too short, network traffic may increase in vain.

z

LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) events have no effect on DLDP. Links in an aggregation
group are treated individually in DLDP.

z

802.1X has no effect on DLDP.

z

When connecting two DLDP-enabled devices, make sure the DLDP version ID fields of the DLDP
packets exchanged between the two devices are the same. Otherwise, DLDP may operate
