Step Command

Remarks

Optional.
By default, NTDP is enabled on all

ports.
To avoid the management device
collecting unnecessary topology

data, disable NTDP on ports

connected to non-candidate
devices.

114.

Enable NTDP on the port.

Configuring NTDP parameters

NTDP parameter configuration includes the following:

Limiting the maximum number of hops (devices) from which topology data is collected.

Setting the topology data collection interval.

Setting the following topology request forwarding delays for requested devices' NTDP-enabled
ports:

{

Forwarding delay for the first NTDP-enabled port—After receiving a topology request, the

requested device forwards the request out of the first NTDP-enabled port when this forwarding
delay expires rather than immediately.

{

Forwarding delay for other NTDP-enabled ports—After the first NTDP-enabled port forwards
the request, all other NTDP-enabled ports forward the request in turn at this delay interval.

The delay settings are conveyed in topology requests sent to the requested devices. They help
avoid concurrent responses to an NTDP topology-collection request causing congestion and deny

of service on the management device.
