| Set the minimum interval for sending traps. | |
Trap Interval | With the LLDP trapping function enabled on a port, traps are sent out 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 | |
| Each time the LLDP operating mode of a port changes, its LLDP protocol state | |
Reinit Delay | machine | |
of frequent operating mode change, initialization delay is introduced. With this | ||
| ||
| delay mechanism, a port must wait for the specified interval before it can initialize | |
| LLDP after the LLDP operating mode changes. | |
|
| |
| Set LLDPDU transmit delay. | |
| With LLDP enabled, a port advertises LLDPDUs to its neighbors both periodically | |
| and when the local configuration changes. To avoid excessive number of LLDPDUs | |
| caused by frequent local configuration changes, an LLDPDU transmit delay is | |
Tx Delay | introduced. Thus, after sending an LLDPDU, the port must wait for the specified | |
interval before it can send another one. | ||
| ||
| IMPORTANT: | |
| LLDPDU transmit delay must be less than the TTL to ensure that the LLDP neighbors can | |
| receive LLDPDUs to update information about the device you are configuring before it | |
| is aged out. | |
| Set the LLDPDU transmit interval. | |
| IMPORTANT: | |
Tx Interval | If the product of the TTL multiplier and the LLDPDU transmit interval is greater than | |
65535, the TTL carried in transmitted LLDPDUs takes 65535 seconds. In this case, the | ||
| ||
| likelihood exists that the LLDPDU transmit interval is greater than TTL. You should | |
| avoid the situation, because the LLDP neighbors will fail to receive LLDPDUs to update | |
| information about the device you are configuring before it is aged out. |

Displaying LLDP information for a port
Select Network LLDP from the navigation tree to enter the Port Setup tab, as shown in a. In the port list, click a port name to display its LLDP information at the lower half of the page. The LLDP information is organized by type and displayed in tabs as shown in a. You can click these tabs to display data you are interested in.
