Chapter 33      Configuring UDLD
Configuring UDLD on the Switch
Configuring a UDLD Probe Message Interval Globally
To configure the time between UDLD probe messages on ports that are in advertisement mode and are 
currently determined to be bidirectional, perform this task:
Enabling Fast UDLD Error Reporting
By default, fast UDLD error-disables ports with unidirectional links. You can globally enable fast UDLD 
to report unidirectional links with a message displayed on the console instead of error-disabling ports 
with unidirectional links.
Note When fast UDLD error reporting is enabled, you must manually take the action appropriate for the state 
of the link. 
To globally enable fast UDLD error reporting, perform this task: 
Resetting Disabled LAN Interfaces
To reset all LAN ports that have been errdisabled by UDLD, use this command:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Switch(config)# udld message time interval
Configures the time between UDLD probe messages on 
ports that are in advertisement mode and are currently 
determined to be bidirectional; valid values are from 1 to 
90 seconds.
Note Prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SGA, the 
time interval is 7 to 90 seconds. With 
Cisco IOS Release 12.2(31)SGA, the time 
interval is 1 to 90 second.
The no udld message command returns the default value 
(15 seconds).
Step 2
Switch# show udld type-slot/interface 
Verifies the configuration.
Command Purpose
Switch(config)# udld fast-hello 
error-reporting
Enables fast UDLD error reporting.
Command Purpose
Switch(config)# udld reset
Resets all LAN ports that have been errdisabled by 
UDLD and Fast UDLD.
