Description

 

 

 

lldpMessageTxInterval

 

The interval (in seconds) at which LLDP

 

 

frames are transmitted on behalf of this

 

 

LLDP agent.

 

 

 

lldpMessageTx

 

The time-to-live value expressed as

HoldMultiplier

 

a multiple of the object. The actual

 

 

time-to-live value used in LLDP frames,

 

 

transmitted on behalf of this LLDP agent,

 

 

is expressed by the following formula:

 

 

TTL = min(65535, (lldpMessageTxInterval

 

 

*lldpMessageTxHoldMultiplier))

 

 

For example, if the value of

 

 

lldpMessageTxInterval is 30, and

 

 

the value of lldpMessageTxHoldMultiplier

 

 

is 4, the value 120 is encoded in the TTL

 

 

field in the LLDP header.

 

 

 

lldpReinitDelay

 

The lldpReinitDelay indicates the delay

 

 

(in seconds) from when the LLDP Port

 

 

AdminStatus of a particular port is disabled

 

 

until reinitialization begins.

 

 

 

lldpTxDelay

 

The lldpTxDelay indicates the delay (in

 

 

seconds) between successive LLDP

 

 

frame transmissions initiated by value or

 

 

status changes in the LLDP local systems

 

 

MIB. The recommended value for the

 

 

lldpTxDelay is set by the following formula:

 

 

1 <= lldpTxDelay <= (0.25 *

 

 

lldpMessageTxInterval)

 

 

 

lldpNotificationInterval

 

This object controls the transmission

 

 

of LLDP notifications. The agent

 

 

must not generate more than one

 

 

lldpRemTablesChange notification-event

 

 

in the indicated period, where a

 

 

notification-eventis the "transmission of

 

 

a single notification PDU type to a list

 

 

of notification destinations." If additional

 

 

changes in lldpRemoteSystemsData

 

 

object groups occur within the indicated

 

 

throttling period, these trap-events must

 

 

be suppressed by the agent. An NMS

 

 

must periodically check the value of

 

 

lldpStatsRemTableLastChangeTime to

 

 

detect any missed lldpRemTablesChange

 

 

notification-events, for example, due to

 

 

throttling or transmission loss. If notification
