• LLDPDU Handling – Select LLDPDU (LLDP Data Unit) packet handling when LLDP is
disabled. The possible field values are:
– Flooding – LLDPDU packets are flooded to all ports in the system.
– Filtering – LLDPDU packets are filtered. This is the default.
• TLV Advertised Interval – Enter the rate in seconds at which LLDP advertisement
updates are sent. The possible field range is 5 - 32768 seconds. The default value is 30
seconds.
• Topology Change Notification Interval – Displays the amount of time that has elapsed
since the bridge was initialized or reset or the last topology change that occurred. The time
is displayed in a day-hour-minute-second format, such as 2 days 5 hours 10 minutes and 4
seconds.
• Hold Multiplier – Enter the amount of time that LLDP packets are held before the
packets are discarded, measured in multiples of the TLV Advertised Interval. The possible
field range is 2 - 10. The field default is 4. For example, if the TLV Advertised Interval is
30 seconds and the Hold Multiplier is 4, then the LLDP packets are discarded after 120
seconds.
• Reinitializing Delay – Enter the amount of time in seconds that passes between disabling
and reinitializing LLDP. The possible field range is 1 - 10 seconds. The field default is 2
seconds.
• Transmit Delay – Enter the amount of time in seconds that passes between successive
LLDP frame transmissions due to changes in the LLDP local systems MIB. The possible
field value is 1 - 8192 seconds. The field default is 2 seconds.
LLDP-MED Properties
• Fast Start Duration – Enter the number of LLDP packets sent when the LLDP-MED Fast
Start mechanism is initialized, which occurs when a new Endpoint device links with the
LLDP-MED Network Connectivity Device.
2. Select the LLDP global status on the device by selecting Enable or Disable in the LLDP field.
3. If you selected Disable in the LLDP field, select the type of LLDPDU Handling from the list
in the provided field.
4. If you selected Enable in the LLDP field, enter the TLV Advertised Interval, Topology
Change Notification Interval, Hold Multiplier, Reinitializing Delay, Transmit Delay and
Fast Start Duration in the provided fields.
5. Click APPLY to update the device.
