lldp transmit-delay

Configures the minimum time between Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) transmissions.
Syntax
lldp transmit-delay seconds
no lldp transmit-delay
Command Default

When LLDP is enabled, the system automatically sets the LLDP transmit delay to 2 seconds.

Parameters
seconds
Configures the LLDP transmit delay, in seconds. The value can range from 1 through 8192. The default value is 2.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The LLDP transmit delay must not be greater than one quarter of the LLDP transmission interval (CLI command lldp transmit-interval).

The LLDP transmit delay prevents an LLDP agent from transmitting a series of successive LLDP frames during a short time period, when rapid changes occur in LLDP. It also increases the probability that multiple changes, rather than a single change, will be reported in each LLDP frame.

The no form of the command removes the configured value and restores the default value of 2 seconds.

Examples

The following example sets the LLDP transmit delay to 7 seconds. 

device(config)# lldp transmit-delay 7
