Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
The following figure shows an example of a unidirectional link condition. Device B successfully receives
traffic from Device A on the port. However, Device A does not receive traffic from Device B on the same
port. UDLD detects the problem and disables the port.

UDLD Aggressive and Nonaggressive Modes
UDLD aggressive mode is disabled by default. You can configure UDLD aggressive mode only on
point-to-point links between network devices that support UDLD aggressive mode. If UDLD aggressive mode
is enabled, when a port on a bidirectional link that has a UDLD neighbor relationship established stops
receiving UDLD frames, UDLD tries to reestablish the connection with the neighbor. After eight failed retries,
the port is disabled.
To prevent spanning tree loops, nonaggressive UDLD with the default interval of 15 seconds is fast enough
to shut down a unidirectional link before a blocking port transitions to the forwarding state (with default
spanning tree parameters).
