• UDLD and Layer 2 Protocols
UDLD runs on a port independently from other Layer 2 protocols running on the same port, such as
STP or LACP. For example, UDLD assigns the port a status regardless of the STP status of the port or
regardless of whether the port belongs to a LAG or not.
Default Settings and Configuration
The following defaults exist for this feature:
• UDLD is disabled by default on all ports of the device.
• Default message time is 15 seconds.
• Default expiration time is 45 seconds (3 times the message time).

- Fiber interfaces are in the global UDLD state.
- Non-fiber interfaces are in the disable state.
