UDLD Overview
UDLD is a Layer 2-protocol that enables devices connected through fiber-optic or
twisted-pair Ethernet cables to detect unidirectional links. A unidirectional link
occurs whenever traffic from a neighboring device is received by the local device,
but traffic from the local device is not received by the neighbor.
The purpose of UDLD is to detect ports on which the neighbor does not receive
traffic from the local device (unidirectional link) and to shut down those ports.
