UDLD on trunk

[Marco Albertini]

Hi all,

when i try to enable UDLD on a port that is part of a Trunk i get the following warning:

"udld: Possible configuration problem detected on port E1.UDLD VLAN configuration does not match port's VLAN configuration."


But VLAN configuration seem so be OK :

sh trunk

---- + -------------------------------- --------- + ----- -----
E1 | 1000LX | Trk1 Trunk
F1 | 1000LX | Trk1 Trunk

You can check this document

There you will find the way to configure UDLD on Trunk ports and group.

The configuration was made by following that manual. And according to the same manual, the warning:
"Possible configuration problem detected on port xx. UDLD VLAN configuration does not match the port's VLAN configuration."

has the following mening:

"You have attempted to enable UDLD on a port that is a tagged only port, but did not specify a configuration for tagged UDLD control packets. In this example, the switch will send and receive the UDLD control packets untagged despite issuing this warning"

As you can see on my first post, trunk ports are part of both tagged and untagged ports, then they are not "tagged only ports".
Am I missing something ?

That warning is confusing me........
