The HP FlexFabric Switch must enable Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) to protect against one-way connections.

Description
In topologies where fiber optic interconnections are used, physical misconnections can occur that allow a link to appear to be up when there is a mismatched set of transmit/receive pairs. When such a physical misconfiguration occurs, protocols such as STP can cause network instability. Device Link Detection Protocol (DLDP) is a layer 2 protocol that can detect these physical misconfigurations by verifying that traffic is flowing bidirectionally between neighbors. Ports with DLDP enabled periodically transmit packets to neighbor devices. If the packets are not echoed back within a specific time frame, the link is flagged as unidirectional and the interface is shut down.

Who does this work

10 NICE work roles and 9 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-80569r1_chk)

If any of the switch ports have fiber optic interconnections with neighbors, review the HP FlexFabric Switch configuration to verify that DLDP is enabled globally or on a per interface basis. If the HP FlexFabric Switch has fiber optic interconnections with neighbors and DLDP is not enabled, this is a finding. <HP> display dldp DLDP global status : disable DLDP interval : 5s DLDP work-mode : enhance DLDP authentication-mode : none DLDP unidirectional-shutdown : auto DLDP delaydown-timer : 1s The number of enabled ports is 2.
