Description

 

Set the TTL multiplier.

 

The TTL TLV carried in an LLDPDU determines how long the device information

 

carried in the LLDPDU can be saved on a recipient device. You can configure

 

the TTL of locally sent LLDPDUs to determine how long information about the

 

local device can be saved on a neighbor device by setting the TTL multiplier.

 

The TTL is expressed as TTL multiplier × LLDP frame transmission interval.

TTL Multiplier

When you configure the TTL multiplier, follow these guidelines:

If the product of the TTL multiplier and the LLDP frame transmission interval

 

 

is greater than 65535, the TTL carried in transmitted LLDP frames takes

 

65535 seconds.

 

Because the maximum TTL allowed by CDP is 255 seconds, you must make

 

sure the product of the TTL multiplier and the LLDP frame transmission

 

interval is less than 255 seconds for CDP-compatible LLDP to work correctly

 

with Cisco IP phones.

 

 

 

Set the minimum interval for sending traps.

Trap Interval

With the LLDP trapping function enabled on a port, traps are sent out of the

port to advertise the topology changes detected over the trap interval to

 

neighbors. By tuning this interval, you can prevent excessive traps from being

 

sent when topology is instable.

 

 

 

Set initialization delay for LLDP-enabled ports.

 

Each time the LLDP operating mode of a port changes, its LLDP protocol state

Reinit Delay

machine reinitializes. A configurable reinitialization delay prevents frequent

initializations caused by frequent changes to the operating mode. If you

 

 

configure the reinitialization delay, a port must wait the specified amount of

 

time to initialize LLDP after the LLDP operating mode changes.

 

 

 

Set LLDP frame transmission delay.

 

With LLDP enabled, a port advertises LLDP frames to its neighbors both

 

periodically and when the local configuration changes. To avoid excessive

Tx Delay

number of LLDP frames caused by frequent local configuration changes, an

LLDP frame transmission delay is introduced. After sending an LLDP frame, the

 

port must wait for the specified interval before it can send another one.

 

LLDP frame transmission delay must be less than the TTL to make sure the LLDP

 

neighbors can receive LLDP frames to update information about the device you

 

are configuring before it is aged out.

 

Set the LLDP frame transmission interval.

 

If the product of the TTL multiplier and the LLDP frame transmission interval is

Tx Interval

greater than 65535, the TTL carried in transmitted LLDP frames takes 65535

seconds. The likelihood exists that the LLDP frame transmission interval is greater

 

 

than TTL. You should avoid the situation, because the LLDP neighbors will fail to

 

receive LLDP frames to update information about the device you are configuring

 

before it is aged out.

Displaying LLDP information for a port

1.From the navigation tree, select Network > LLDP. By default, the Port Setup tab is displayed.

2.On the port list, click a port name to display its LLDP information at the lower half of the page.
