UDLD Configuration Guidelines
These are the UDLD configuration guidelines:
• UDLD is not supported on ATM ports.
• A UDLD-capable interface also cannot detect a unidirectional link if it is connected to a
UDLD-incapable interface of another switch.
• When configuring the mode (normal or aggressive), make sure that the same mode is configured on
both sides of the link.
