Enabling Dldp; Setting The Interval To Send Advertisement Packets; Setting The Delaydown Timer - HP 5130 EI Series Configuration Manual

Enabling DLDP

To correctly configure DLDP on the device, you must enable DLDP globally and on each port.
To enable DLDP:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Enable DLDP globally.
3. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view.
4. Enable DLDP.

Setting the interval to send advertisement packets

To make sure DLDP can detect unidirectional links before network performance deteriorates, set the
advertisement interval appropriate for your network environment. (HP recommends that you use the
default interval.)
To set the Advertisement packet sending interval:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the interval to send
Advertisement packets.

Setting the DelayDown timer

On some ports, when the Tx line fails, the port goes down and then comes up again, causing optical
signal jitters on the Rx line. To avoid this problem, when a port goes down due to a Tx failure, the device
triggers the DelayDown timer to prevent the corresponding neighbor entries from being removed. If the
port remains down when the timer expires, the device removes the DLDP neighbor information. If the port
goes up, the device takes no action.
To set the DelayDown timer:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set the DelayDown timer.
