Fast UDLD Guidelines and Restrictions
When using (or configuring) Fast UDLD, consider these guidelines and restrictions:
• Fast UDLD is disabled by default.
• Configure fast UDLD only on point-to-point links between network devices that support fast UDLD.
• You can configure fast UDLD in either normal or aggressive mode.
• Do not enter the link debounce command on fast UDLD ports.
• Configure fast UDLD on at least two links between each connected network device. This reduces
the number of link disablements due to false positives.
• Fast UDLD does not report a unidirectional link if the same error occurs simultaneously on more
than one link to the same neighbor device.
• Fast UDLD is supported on a limited number of ports.
