thanks for reply amit

how we can check if udld is enabled on port

of switch or not ?

also why we use udld on switch port?

i bounce the switch port on router then port came back up

from router side

hi amit,

alos we have udld enabled on both switch and router.

route rside

switchport

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk native vlan 999

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,12,63,89,999

switchport mode trunk

no ip address

logging event link-status

udld port aggressive

switch side

interface GigabitEthernet1/1

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

switchport trunk native vlan 999

switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,12,63,89,999

switchport mode trunk

udld port aggressive

is there a way that we can tell which one side is passing traffic when udld err disables th eport?

thanks

magesg

hi all,

can someone explain me how udld works in fibre connections

many thanks

The UDLD protocol allows devices connected through fiber-optic cables connected to LAN/WAN ports to monitor the physical configuration of the cables and detect when a unidirectional link exists. When a unidirectional link is detected, UDLD shuts down the affected LAN port and alerts the user. Unidirectional links can cause a variety of problems, including spanning tree topology loops.

UDLD is a Layer 2 protocol that works with the Layer 1 protocols to determine the physical status of a link. At Layer 1, autonegotiation takes care of physical signaling and fault detection. UDLD performs tasks that autonegotiation cannot perform, such as detecting the identities of neighbors and shutting down misconnected LAN ports. When you enable both autonegotiation and UDLD, Layer 1 and Layer 2 detections work together to prevent physical and logical unidirectional connections and the malfunctioning of other protocols.

A unidirectional link occurs whenever traffic transmitted by the local device over a link is received by the neighbor but traffic transmitted from the neighbor is not received by the local device. If one of the fiber strands in a pair is disconnected, as long as autonegotiation is active, the link does not stay up. In this case, the logical link is undetermined, and UDLD does not take any action. If both fibers are working normally at Layer 1, then UDLD at Layer 2 determines whether those fibers are connected correctly and whether traffic is flowing bidirectionally between the correct neighbors. This check cannot be performed by autonegotiation, because autonegotiation operates at Layer 1.
