Usage Guidelines This command is not supported by the NAM.
Whenever a unidirectional connection is detected, UDLD displays a sysl og messa ge t o not ify y ou and
the network management application (through SNMP) that the port on whi ch t he misc onfigurati on ha s
been detected has been disabled.
If you enter the global set udld enable or disable command, UDLD is globally configured. If UDLD is
globally disabled, UDLD is automatically disabled on all interfaces, but the per-por t en ab le (or di sable)
configuration is not changed. If UDLD is globally enabled, whether or not UDLD is running on an
interface depends on its per-port configuration.
UDLD is supported on both Ethernet fiber and copper interfaces. UDLD can only be enabl ed on Ethernet
fiber or copper interfaces.
