Port Status and Configuration
Uni-Directional Link Detection (UDLD)
Notes ■ You must configure the same VLANs that will be used for UDLD on
all devices across the network; otherwise, the UDLD link cannot be
maintained.
■ If a VLAN ID is not specified, then UDLD control packets are sent out
of the port as untagged packets.
■ To re-assign a VLAN ID, re-enter the command with the new VLAN ID
number. The new command will overwrite the previous command
setting.
■ When configuring UDLD for tagged ports, you may receive a warning
message if there are any inconsistencies with the port’s VLAN config-
uration (see page 36 for potential problems).
