The LLDP operating mode of the port changes from Disable/Rx to TxRx or Tx.

This is the fast sending mechanism of LLDP. This feature sends a specific number of LLDPDUs at the
1-second interval to help LLDP neighbors discover the local device as soon as possible. Then, the
normal LLDPDU transmit interval resumes.

Receiving LLDPDUs

An LLDP-enabled port operating in TxRx mode or Rx mode checks the validity of TLVs carried in every
received LLDPDU. If valid, the information is saved and an aging timer is set for it based on the time to
live (TTL) value in the Time To Live TLV carried in the LLDPDU. If the TTL value is zero, the
information is aged out immediately.

Protocols and Standards

The protocols and standards related to LLDP include:

IEEE 802.1AB-2005, Station and Media Access Control Connectivity Discovery

ANSI/TIA-1057, Link Layer Discovery Protocol for Media Endpoint Devices
