Adjusting the interval for transmitting LLDP advertisements

LLDP advertisements are sent to LLDP neighbors at periodic intervals. You can increase or decrease the interval for sending LLDP advertisements depending on network traffic and changes in the network topology.

About this task

The default interval recommended by IEEE is 30 seconds, but you can enter a value from 5 seconds to 300 seconds.

  1. Display the current LLDP advertisement time interval for a node, or for all nodes in a cluster:
    • Single node: run -node node_name options lldp.xmit.interval
    • All nodes: options lldp.xmit.interval
  2. Adjust the interval for sending LLDP advertisements for all ports of a node, or for all ports of all nodes in a cluster:
    • Single node: run -node node_name options lldp.xmit.interval interval
    • All nodes: options lldp.xmit.interval interval
