Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) | 175
LLDP Operation
On an Aggregator, LLDP operates as follows:
• LLDP is enabled by default.
• LLDPDUs are transmitted and received by default. LLDPDUs are transmitted periodically. The default
interval is 30 seconds.
• LLDPDU information received from a neighbor expires after the default Time to Live (TTL) value:
120 seconds.
• FTOS supports up to eight neighbors per interface.
• FTOS supports a maximum of 8000 total neighbors per system. If the number of interfaces multiplied
by eight exceeds the maximum, the system does not configure more than 8000.
• LLDP is not hitless.
Viewing the LLDP Configuration
To display the LLDP configuration, use the show config command in either CONFIGURATION or
INTERFACE mode (Figure 14-7) and (Figure 14-8).
