Well, if it's truly gigE, then auto-negotiation will be more responsive to failures than UDLD. If supported in his version, BFD would also be more responsive than UDLD. Relying on routing protocol timers is a poor substitute for proper link failure detection. -- ========== bep _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
