packet to Port 2. At the same time, Port 1 deletes the neighborship with Port 2, and starts the
RecoverProbe timer. Port 2 stays in Inactive state during this process.
When an interface is physically down, but the Tx end of the interface is still operating, DLDP sends
a LinkDown packet to inform the peer to delete the relevant neighbor entry.
Detecting multiple neighbors
When multiple devices are connected through a hub, enable DLDP on all interfaces connected to the hub
to detect unidirectional links among the neighbors. When no Confirmed neighbor exists, an interface
enters the Unidirectional state.

As shown in
When Port 1, Port 2, and Port 3 detect that the link to Port 4 fails, they deletes the neighborship with Port
4, but stay in Bidirectional state.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

When you configure DLDP, follow these configuration restrictions and guidelines:
For DLDP to operate correctly, enable DLDP on both sides and make sure these settings are
•
consistent: the interval to send Advertisement packets, DLDP authentication mode, and password.
• For DLDP to operate correctly, configure the full duplex mode for the ports at the two ends of the link,
and configure the same speed for the two ports.
