The Properties page enables entering LLDP general parameters, such as enabling/disabling the feature globally. To enter LLDP properties, proceed as follows:
Procedure
| Step 1 | Click Administration > Discovery LLDP > Properties. |
| Step 2 | Enter the parameters.
|
LLDP Status
|
Select to enable LLDP on the device (enabled by default).
|
|
LLDP Frames Handling
|
If LLDP isn’t enabled, select one of the following options:
-
Filtering—Delete the packet.
-
Bridging— (VLAN-aware flooding) Forwards the packet to all VLAN members.
-
Flooding—Forward the packet to all VLAN members
|
|
TLV Advertise Interval
|
Enter the rate in seconds at which LLDP advertisement updates are sent, or use the default.
|
|
Hold Multiplier
|
Enter the amount of time that LLDP packets are held before the packets are discarded, measured in multiples of the TLV Advertise Interval. For example, if the TLV Advertise Interval is 30 seconds, and the Hold Multiplier is 4, then the LLDP packets are discarded after 120 seconds.
|
|
Reinitializing Delay
|
Enter the time interval in seconds that passes between disabling and reinitializing LLDP, following an LLDP enable/disable cycle.
|
|
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.
|
|
| Step 3 | In the LED-MED Properties Fast Start Repeat Count field, enter the number of times LLDP packets are sent when the LLDP-MED Fast Start mechanism is initialized. This occurs when a new endpoint device links to the device. For a description of LLDP MED, refer to the LLDP MED Network Policy section. |
| Step 4 | Click Apply. The LLDP properties are added to the Running Configuration file. |
