lldp transmit-hold

Configures the transmit holdtime multiplier for time to live (TTL).
Syntax
lldp transmit-hold value
no lldp transmit-hold [ value ]
Command Default

When LLDP is enabled, the device automatically sets the holdtime multiplier for TTL to 4.

Parameters
value
Configures the transmit holdtime multiplier. The value can range from 2 to 10. The default is 4.
Modes

Global configuration mode

Usage Guidelines

The transmit holdtime multiplier for TTL is used to compute the actual TTL value used in an Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) frame. The TTL value is the length of time for which the receiving device maintains information in its MIB.

Note: Setting the transmit interval or transmit holdtime multiplier, or both, to inappropriate values can cause the LLDP agent to transmit LLDP PDUs with TTL values that are excessively high. This, in turn, can affect how long a receiving device retains information if it is not refreshed.

The no form of the command removes the configured value and restores the holdtime multiplier for TTL to the default value 4.

Examples

The following example sets the holdtime multiplier to 6.

device(config)# lldp transmit-hold 6
