8.3 ULDP Function Typical Examples 
Fiber Cross Connection 
In the network topology in Graph, port g1/1 and port g1/2 of SWITCH A as well as port g1/3 
and port g1/4 of SWITCH B are all fiber ports. And the connection is cross connection. The 
physical layer is connected and works normally, but the data link layer is abnormal. ULDP can 
discover and disable this kind of error state of link. The final result is that port g1/1, g1/2 of 
SWITCH  A  and  port  g1/3,  g1/4  of  SWITCH  B  are  all  shut  down  by  ULDP.  Only  when  the 
connection is correct, can the ports work normally (won’t be shut down). 
Switch A configuration sequence: 
SwitchA(config)#uldp enable 
SwitchA(config)#interface ethernet 1/1 
SwitchA(Config-If-Ethernet1/1)#uldp enable 
SwitchA(Config-If-Ethernet1/1)#exit 
SwitchA(config)#interface ethernet 1/2 
SwitchA(Config-If-Ethernet1/2)#uldp enable 
Switch B configuration sequence: 
SwitchB(config)#uldp enable 
SwitchB(config)#interface ethernet1/3 
SwitchB(Config-If-Ethernet1/3)#uldp enable 
SwitchB(Config-If-Ethernet1/3)#exit 
SwitchB(config)#interface ethernet 1/4 
SwitchB(Config-If-Ethernet1/4)#uldp enable 
As a result, port g1/1, g1/2 of SWITCH A are all shut down by ULDP, and there is notification 
information on the CRT terminal of PC1.
