configure lldp med fast-start repeat-count

configure lldp med fast-start repeat-count count

Description

The fast-start feature is automatically enabled when you enable the LLDP MED capabilities TLV. This command configures how many times, from 1 to 10, the switch sends out an LLDP MED packet with an interval of 1 second.

Syntax Description

count Specifies the number of times the switch transmits LLDP MED TLVs each second (once it detects a neighbor transmitting LLDP MED TLVs). The range is 1 to 10.

Default

3.

Usage Guidelines

When the switch detects a MED-capable device, this count determines how many times the switch sends a LLDP MED TLVs with an interval of 1 second. The fast-start feature enables the MED-capable device to quickly learn information; this command changes the value from the default 3. The fast-start feature is automatically enabled when you enable the LLDP MED capabilities TLV.

Note

Note

After you configure the LLDP MED capability TLV, the fast-start feature automatically runs. To configure the LLDP MED capability TLV, use the configure lldp ports [all | port_list] [advertise | no-advertise] vendor-specific med capabilities command.

Example

The following command configures fast learning on the switch to a value of 2:

configure lldp med fast-start repeat-count 2
