Hi Ali,

UDLD is used for unidirectional link detection. Sometime in fibers we have that problem that either RX or TX end stops working which led to the STP loop in the network. That's why we use UDLD feature to put the port in error disable state if it happens.

I would recommend to turn it on for fiber ports.

HTH., Please rate if it does.

You can have the same trouble if you have a 802.1Q trunk and you don't allow same VLANs on both ends of the trunk.

So this problem is not limited to fibers.

Good Day!
