Notes

Note

The relevant configurations will be deleted if DLDP is disabled using enable=disable.
When using auth_mode=none, it will restore the default DLDP authentication mode. By default, DLDP packets are not authenticated.
By default, the working mode of DLDP is enhance, so you are advised to use work_mode=enhance to restore defualt DLDP working mode.
The default interval for sending Advertisement packets is 5 seconds, so you are advised to use time_interval=5 to restore defualt DLDP interval.
