How to Configure UDLD Protocol
aggressive mode, the link is considered unidirectional, and the interface is shut down. If UDLD in normal
mode is in the advertisement or in the detection phase and all the neighbor cache entries are aged out, UDLD
restarts the link-up sequence to resynchronize with any potentially out-of-sync neighbors. If you enable
aggressive mode when all the neighbors of a port have aged out either in the advertisement or in the detection
phase, UDLD restarts the link-up sequence to resynchronize with any potentially out-of-sync neighbor. UDLD
shuts down the port if, after the fast train of messages, the link state is still undetermined.
