LLDP-MED Time-out Period

Currently, Aastra IP Phones have a 5 second time-out for listening to LLDP-MED
responses when the phone is booting up. If LLDP-MED responses are received after
this initial listening period, the phone will ignore the response. Now administrators
can configure this time-out interval using the new "lldp startinterval" parameter.
This parameter is only valid during the phone bootup process and it will control the
LLDP-MED time-out interval where the phone sends LLDP-MED advertisements and
listens for the LLDP-MED responses from the switch before proceeding to the DHCP
stage. The default value of this parameter is 5 seconds.
