◆ Notification Interval – Configures the allowed interval for sending
SNMP notifications about LLDP MIB changes. (Range: 5-3600 seconds;
Default: 5 seconds)
This parameter only applies to SNMP applications which use data stored
in the LLDP MIB for network monitoring or management.
Information about changes in LLDP neighbors that occur between SNMP
notifications is not transmitted. Only state changes that exist at the
time of a notification are included in the transmission. An SNMP agent
should therefore periodically check the value of
lldpStatsRemTableLastChangeTime to detect any lldpRemTablesChange
notification-events missed due to throttling or transmission loss.
◆ MED Fast Start Count – Configures the amount of LLDP MED Fast
Start LLDPDUs to transmit during the activation process of the LLDP-
MED Fast Start mechanism. (Range: 1-10 packets; Default: 4 packets)
The MED Fast Start Count parameter is part of the timer which ensures
that the LLDP-MED Fast Start mechanism is active for the port. LLDP-
MED Fast Start is critical to the timely startup of LLDP, and therefore
integral to the rapid availability of Emergency Call Service.
