Configuring UDLD
UDLD is configured at global config level and/or under each interfaces. It monitors a physical connection to detect unidirectional links to avoid spanning-tree topology loops or silent drop traffic.
You can configure normal unidirectional link detection (UDLD) modes for Ethernet interfaces on devices configured to run UDLD.
Before you can enable a UDLD mode for an interface, you must make sure that UDLD is already enabled on the device that includes the interface. UDLD must also be enabled on the other linked interface and its device.
This section contains payload examples to demonstrate how to use the NX-API REST API to configure UDLD on the Cisco Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series switches.
