Enabling UDLD (CLI)

UDLD is enabled on a per-port basis.

Example:

To enable UDLD on port a1, enter:

switch(config)#interface al link-keepalive

To enable the feature on a trunk group, enter the appropriate port range. For example:

switch(config)#interface al-a4 link-keepalive

NOTE:

When at least one port is UDLD-enabled, the switch will forward out UDLD packets that arrive on non-UDLD-configured ports out of all other non-UDLDconfigured ports in the same vlan. That is, UDLD control packets will “pass through” a port that is not configured for UDLD. However, UDLD packets will be dropped on any blocked ports that are not configured for UDLD.
