LLDP configuration 8

Changing the minimum time between port reinitializations

The LLDP re-initialization delay timer specifies the minimum number of seconds the device will wait from when LLDP is disabled on a port, until it will honor a request to re-enable LLDP on that port. When you enable LLDP, the system sets the re-initialization delay timer to two seconds. If desired, you can change the default behavior from two seconds to a value between one and ten seconds.

To set the re-initialization delay timer, enter a command such as the following at the Global CONFIG level of the CLI.

Brocade(config)#lldp reinit-delay 5

The above command causes the device to wait five seconds after LLDP is disabled, before attempting to honor a request to re-enable it.

Syntax: [no] lldp reinit-delay <seconds>

The <seconds> variable is a value from 1 – 10. The default is two seconds.
