Introduction
This document provides DLDP configuration examples.
The Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) was developed by HP to detect the status of fiber links
or twisted-pair links. When DLDP detects unidirectional links, it can automatically shut down the
faulty port to avoid network problems. Alternatively, a user can manually shut down the faulty port.
Restrictions and guidelines
When you configure DLDP, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•For DLDP to operate correctly, configure the full duplex mode for the interfaces at the two
ends of the link, and configure the same speed for the two interfaces.
•For DLDP to operate correctly, enable DLDP on both sides and make sure the following
settings are consistent:
Interval to send Advertisement packets.
DLDP authentication mode.
Password.
•By default, interfaces on the device are disabled (in ADM or Administratively Down state).
To have an interface operate, you must use the undo shutdown command to enable that
interface.
Prerequisites
The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and
all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live
network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.
This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of DLDP.
Example: Configuring the auto port
shutdown mode
Network configuration
As shown in Figure 1, DeviceAand Device B are connected through two fiber pairs.
Configure DLDP on the devices so each device performs the following tasks:
•Detects unidirectional links caused by cross-connected fibers or a disconnected fiber.
•Automatically shuts down the faulty interface when detecting a unidirectional link.
•Automatically brings up the interface after the administrator clears the fault.

Network configuration
As shown in Figure 3, DeviceAand Device B are connected through two fiber pairs.
Configure DLDP on the devices to meet the following requirements:
•Each device can detect unidirectional links caused by cross-connected fibers or a
disconnected fiber.
•When a unidirectional link is detected, the administrator can manually shut down the faulty
port based on the connection status of the link.
•The interface recovers from failure after the administrator clears the fault and manually brings
up the port.

Example: Configuring the hybrid port
shutdown mode
Network configuration
As shown in Figure 5, DeviceAand Device B are connected through two fiber pairs.
Configure DLDP to detect unidirectional links. When a unidirectional link is detected, DLDP
automatically shuts down the unidirectional port. The administrator needs to bring up the port after
clearing the fault.
