Examples

The following example specifies how often the software sends Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) updates.

Console (config) # lldp timer

lldp hold-multiplier

To specify the amount of time the receiving device should hold a Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) packet before discarding it, use the lldp hold-multipliercommand in global configuration mode. To revert to the default setting, use the no form of this command.

Syntax

lldp hold-multiplier number

no lldp hold-multiplier

number — Specifies the hold time to be sent in the LLDP update packets as a multiple of the timer value (Range: 2-10).

Default Configuraiton

The default configuration is 4.

Command Modes

Global configuration

User Guidelines

The actual time-to-live value used in LLDP frames can be expressed by the following formula: TTL = min(65535, LLDP-Timer * LLDP-HoldMultiplier). For example, if the value of LLDP timer is '30', and the value of the LLDP hold multiplier is '4', then the value '120' is encoded in the TTL field in the LLDP header.

Examples

The following example specifies how often the software sends Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) updates.

Console (config) # lldp hold-multiplier 6

lldp reinit-delay

To specify the minimum time an LLDP port will wait before reinitializing LLDP transmission, use the lldp reinit-delaycommand in global configuration mode. To revert to the default setting, use the no form of this command.
