Re: Fwd: UDLD port-channel

Hi Fawaz,

UDLD is a layer 1/2 protocol. You need to configure it directly on the
physical interface (i.e. not right on the Port-channel interface):

int gig0/1
 udld port <aggressive>

If one of the ports in your channel becomes unidirectional, it shuts that
port down and takes it out of the port channel. I actually had this
happen to me on a production network... crazy behaviour results because
the switch that thinks both ports are up continues to load balance across
the bad port, causing major problems for applications.

This is documented in the DocCD under the 3550/3560 configuration guide
under "Configuring UDLD".
