Status

 

Description

 

 

 

DHCP sends packets to check if it is a unidirectional link. It enables

 

Probe

 

the probe sending timer and an echo waiting timer for each target

 

 

 

neighbor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DLDP detects a unidirectional link, or finds (in enhanced mode) that

 

Disable

 

a neighbor disappears. In this case, DLDP does not receive or send

 

 

 

DLDP packets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When a device in the active, advertisement, or probe DLDP state

 

 

 

receives a port down message, it does not removes the

 

Delaydown

 

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.

 

 

 

 

DLDP timers

DLDP works with the following timers:

Table 1-2DLDP timers

Timer

Description

 

Interval of sending advertisement packets, which can be

Advertisement sending timer

configured with a command line.

 

By default, the interval is 5 seconds.

 

 

Probe sending timer

The interval is 0.5 second. In probe status, DLDP sends two probe

packets every second.

 

 

 

 

It is enabled when DLDP enters probe status. The timeout time is

 

10 seconds.

 

If no echo packet is received from the neighbor when the Echo

 

waiting timer expires, the local end is set to unidirectional

Echo waiting timer

communication status and the state machine turns into disable

status. DLDP outputs log and tracking information, sends flush

 

 

packets. Depending on the user-defined DLDP down mode,

 

DLDP disables the local port automatically or prompt the user to

 

disable the port manually. At the same time, DLDP deletes the

 

neighbor entry.

 

 

 

When a new neighbor joins, a neighbor entry is created, and the

 

corresponding entry aging timer is enabled.

 

When an advertisement packet is received from a neighbor, the

 

neighbor entry is updated, and the corresponding entry aging

 

timer is updated.

Entry aging timer

In normal mode, if no packet is received from the neighbor when

the entry aging timer expires, DLDP sends an advertisement

 

packet with RSY tag, and deletes the neighbor entry.

 

In enhanced mode, if no packet is received from the neighbor

 

when the entry aging timer expires, DLDP enables the enhanced

 

timer.

 

The interval set for the entry aging timer is three times of that for

 

the advertisement timer.
