DLDP Configuration Example 
Network requirements 
As shown in Figure 1-4, 
z  Switch A and Switch B are connected through two pairs of fibers. Both of them support DLDP. All 
the ports involved operate in mandatory full duplex mode, with their rates all being 1,000 Mbps. 
z  Suppose the fibers between Switch A and Switch B are cross-connected. DLDP disconnects the 
unidirectional links after detecting them. 
z  After the fibers are connected correctly, the ports shut down by DLDP are restored.

Configuration procedure 
1)  Configure Switch A 
# Configure the ports to work in mandatory full duplex mode at a rate of 1000 Mbps.  
<SwitchA> system-view 
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 1/1/1 
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/1/1] duplex full 
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/1/1] speed 1000 
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/1/1] quit 
[SwitchA] interface gigabitethernet 1/1/2 
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/1/2] duplex full 
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/1/2] speed 1000 
[SwitchA-GigabitEthernet1/1/2] quit 
# Enable DLDP globally 
[SwitchA] dldp enable 
# Set the interval between sending DLDP packets to 15 seconds. 
[SwitchA] dldp interval 15 
 # Configure DLDP to work in enhanced mode 
[SwitchA] dldp work-mode enhance
