Timer Description
DelayDown timer
When a device in the active, advertisement, or probe DLDP
state receives a port down message, it does not removes the
corresponding neighbor immediately, neither does it
changes to the inactive state. Instead, it changes to the
delaydown state first.
When a device changes to the delaydown state, the related
DLDP neighbor information remains, and the DelayDown
timer is triggered. The DelayDown timer is configurable and
ranges from 1 to 5 seconds.
A device in the delaydown state only responds to port up
messages.
A device in the delaydown state resumes its original DLDP
state if it receives a port up message before the delaydown
timer expires. Otherwise, it removes the DLDP neighbor
information and changes to the inactive state.
1.2.4 DLDP Operating Mode
DLDP can operate in two modes: normal and enhanced.

1.2.5 DLDP Neighbor State
A DLDP neighbor can be in one of these two states: two way and unknown. You can
check the state of a DLDP neighbor by using the display dldp command.
