RE: Gig interface stays Up Up on 7606 --- Use UDLD?

It is policy here to enable UDLD on all switches. A uni-directional link can
create real problem for STP as STP itself has no way to detect or deal with
a uni-directional link. I am not sure why you would be getting a
uni-directional link like that, but I do not think UDLD will fix it. What
UDLD will do is detect the condition and disable the port.
