5.1 Configuring RLDP
5.1.1 Overview
Rapid Link Detection Protocol (RLDP) is an Ethernet link fault detection protocol used to quickly detect link faults
and downlink loop faults. RLDP can prevent network congestion and connection interruptions caused by loops.
After a loop occurs, the port on the access switch involved in the loop will shut down automatically.
5.1.2 Configuration Steps
Choose Network > RLDP.
(1) Click Enable to access the RLDP Config page.
(2) In the networking topology, you can select the access switches on which you want to enable RLDP in either
recommended or custom mode. If you select the recommended mode, all access switches in the network are
selected automatically. If you select the custom mode, you can manually select the desired access switches.
Click Deliver Config. RLDP is enabled on the selected switches.
