Usage Guidelines

The LLDP-MED fast-start repeat count specifies the number of LLDP packets that are sent during the LLDP-MED fast-start period.

The fast-start feature enables a network connectivity device to initially advertise itself at a faster rate for a limited time when an LLDP-MED endpoint has been newly detected or has newly connected to the network. This feature is important within a VoIP network, for example, where rapid availability is crucial for applications such as emergency call service location (E911). The fast-start timer starts when a network connectivity device receives the first LLDP frame from a newly detected endpoint.

Note: The LLDP-MED fast-start mechanism is intended to run only on links between network connectivity devices and endpoint devices. It does not apply to links between LAN infrastructure elements, including between network connectivity devices or to other types of links.

The no form of the command removes the configured value and restores the default value of 3 packets per second.

Examples

The following example sets the LLDP-MED fast-start transmit count to 6. 

device(config)# lldp med fast-start-repeat-count 6
