Time-to-Live for Received Information
Each remote device LLDP packet includes an expiration time. If the switch port does
not receive an LLDP update from the remote device before the time-to-live clock
expires, the switch will consider the remote information to be invalid, and will
remove all associated information from the MIB.
Remote devices can also intentionally set their LLDP time-to-live to 0, indicating to
the switch that the LLDP information is invalid and must be immediately removed.
LLDP Example Configuration
1. Turn LLDP on globally.
2. Set the global LLDP timer features.
3. Set LLDP options for each port.
4. Enable syslog reporting.
5. Verify the configuration settings:
6. View remote device information as needed.
