reinit seconds | timer seconds}
Configures LLDP options.
Use the holdtime option to set the length of time (10
to 255 seconds, default 120 seconds) that a device
should save LLDP information received before
discarding it.
Use the reinit option to set the length of time (1 to 10
seconds, default 2 seconds) to wait before performing
LLDP initialization on any interface.
Use the timer option to set the rate (5 to 254 seconds,
default 30 seconds) at which LLDP packets are sent.
Command Purpose
switch(config)# no lldp {holdtime |
reinit | timer}
Reset the LLDP values to their defaults.
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# interface type slot/port
Selects the interface to change.
Step 3
switch(config-if)# [no] lldp {receive |
transmit}
Sets the selected interface to either receive or
transmit.
The no form of the command disables the LLDP
transmit or receive.
