Changing the delay interval between advertisements generated by value or status changes to the LLDP MIB (CLI)

Syntax:


setmib lldpTxDelay.0 -i <1-8192>

Uses setmib to change the minimum time (delay-interval) any LLDP port will delay advertising successive LLDP advertisements because of a change in LLDP MIB content.

(Default: 2; Range 1–8192)

NOTE:

The LLDP refresh-interval (transmit interval) must be greater than or equal to (4 x delay-interval). The switch does not allow increasing the delay interval to a value that conflicts with this relationship. That is, the switch displays Inconsistent value if (4 x delay-interval) exceeds the current transmit interval, and the command fails. Depending on the current refresh-interval setting, it may be necessary to increase the refresh-interval before using this command to increase the delay-interval.

Example:

To change the delay-interval from 2 seconds to 8 seconds when the refresh-interval is at the default 30 seconds, you must first set the refresh-interval to a minimum of 32 seconds (32 = 4 x 8) as shown in the following image.
