User Guidelines
• The actual time-to-live value used in LLDP frames can be expressed by the following formula:
TTL = min(65535, LLDP-Timer * LLDP-HoldMultiplier). For example, if the value of LLDP
timer is '30', and the value of the LLDP hold multiplier is '4', then the value '120' is encoded in
the TTL field in the LLDP header.
Examples

the
lldp reinit-delay command in global configuration mode. To revert to the default setting, use

no form of this command.
