Remarks

Configure the encoding format

of the management address as

character string

lldp

management-address-for

mat string

Optional

By default, the management address is

encapsulated in the numeric format.

Setting Other LLDP Parameters

The Time To Live TLV carried in an LLDPDU determines how long the device information carried in the
LLDPDU can be saved on a recipient device.

By setting the TTL multiplier, you can configure the TTL of locally sent LLDPDUs, which determines
how long information about the local device can be saved on a neighbor device. The TTL is expressed
as follows:

TTL = Min (65535, (TTL multiplier × LLDPDU transmit interval))

As the expression shows, the TTL can be up to 65535 seconds. TTLs greater than 65535 will be
rounded down to 65535 seconds.

Follow these steps to change the TTL multiplier:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

Set the TTL multiplier

lldp hold-multiplier value

Optional

4 by default.

Set the LLDPDU transmit interval

lldp timer tx-interval

interval

Optional

30 seconds by default

Set LLDPDU transmit delay

lldp timer tx-delay

delay

Optional

2 seconds by default

Set the number of LLDPDUs sent

each time fast LLDPDU

transmission is triggered.

lldp fast-count count

Optional

3 by default

To ensure that the LLDP neighbors can receive LLDPDUs to update information about the current
device before it is aged out, configure both the LLDPDU transmit interval and delay to be less than the
TTL.

Setting an Encapsulation Format for LLDPDUs

LLDPDUs can be encapsulated in Ethernet II or SNAP frames.
