Examples The following example specifies how often the software sends Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) updates. Console (config) # lldp timer lldp hold-multiplier To specify the amount of time the receiving device should hold a Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) packet before discarding it, use the lldp hold-multiplier command in global configuration mode. To revert to the default setting, use the no form of this command. Syntax lldp hold-multiplier number no lldp hold-multiplier • number - Specifies the hold time to be sent in the LLDP update packets as a multiple of the timer value (Range: 2-10). Default Configuraiton The default configuration is 4. Command Modes Global configuration 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.
