Chapter 20: Ethernet Protocols (CLI)
LLDP is used to send notifications to the NMS, based on data of the local unit and data gathered from peer
systems. These notifications enable the NMS to build an accurate network topology.
This section includes:
•
Configuring the General LLDP Parameters (CLI)
•
Displaying the General LLDP Parameters (CLI)
•

The Transmit Interval is the interval at which LLDP frames are transmitted.
The time-to-live (TTL) determines the length of time LLDP frames are retained by the receiving device. The TTL is
determined by multiplying the Transmit Interval by the TTL Multiplier.
To define the Transmit Interval, enter the following command in root view:
root> ethernet lldp tx-interval-set tx-interval <tx-interval>
To define the TTL Multiplier, enter the following command in root view:
root> ethernet lldp tx-hold-multiplier-set hold-multiplier <hold-
multiplier>
To define the interval between transmission of LLDP notifications during normal transmission periods, enter the
following command in root view:
root> ethernet lldp notif-interval-set notif-interval <notif-interval>
