lldp fast-start-count
Syntax
lldp fast-start-count <1 - 10>
Description
An LLDP-MED device connecting to a switch port
may use the data contained in the MED TLVs from the switch to configure
itself. However, the lldp refresh-interval
setting
(default: 30 seconds) for transmitting advertisements can cause an
unacceptable delay in MED device configuration.
To support rapid LLDP-MED device configuration,
the lldp fast-start-count
command temporarily overrides
the refresh-interval
setting for the fast-start-count
advertisement interval. This results in the port initially advertising
LLDP-MED at a faster rate for a limited time. Thus, when the switch
detects a new LLDP-MED device on a port, it transmits one LLDP-MED
advertisement per second out the port for the duration of the fast-start-count
interval. In most cases, the default setting
should provide an adequate fast-start-count
interval.
Defaults to 5 seconds.
This global command applies only to ports on
which a new LLDP-MED device is detected. It does not override the refresh-interval
setting on ports where non-MED devices
are detected.
