Configuring Dldp Authentication; Displaying And Maintaining Dldp - HPE FlexFabric 5700 Series Configuration Manual

manually bring up the port. If the network performance is low, the device is busy, or the CPU
usage is high, use this mode to prevent normal links from being shut down because of false
unidirectional link reports.
On a port with both remote OAM loopback and DLDP enabled, if the port shutdown mode is auto
mode, the port will be shut down by DLDP when it receives a packet sent by itself. This causes
remote OAM loopback failure. To prevent this, set the port shutdown mode to manual mode. For
more information about Ethernet OAM, see
To set port shutdown mode:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Set port shutdown mode.

Configuring DLDP authentication

You can guard your network against attacks and malicious probes by configuring an appropriate
DLDP authentication mode, which can be plain text authentication or MD5 authentication. If your
network is safe, you can choose not to authenticate.
To configure DLDP authentication:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a DLDP
authentication mode.
3. Configure the password for
DLDP authentication.

Displaying and maintaining DLDP

Execute display commands in any view and the reset command in user view.
Task
Display the DLDP configuration globally and of a
port.
Display the statistics on DLDP packets passing
through a port.
Clear the statistics on DLDP packets passing
through a port.
