The switch supports the LLDP. For current information on your switch model, The Link
Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) provides a standards-based method for enabling
switches to advertise themselves to adjacent devices and to learn about adjacent LLDP
devices. The Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is a vendor-neutral Link Layer
protocol in the Internet Protocol Suite used by network devices for advertising their
identity, capabilities, and neighbors on a IEEE 802 local area network, principally wired
Ethernet. The protocol is formally referred to by the IEEE as Station and Media Access
Control Connectivity Discovery specified in standards document IEEE 802.1AB.
Function name:
LLDP – LLDP General Setup
Function description:
The function is used to inspect and configure the current LLDP port settings.
Parameters description:
Tx Interval
The switch periodically transmits LLDP frames to its
neighbours for having the network discovery information
up-to-date. The interval between each LLDP frame is
determined by the Tx Interval value. Valid values are
restricted to 5 - 32768 seconds.
Tx Hold
Each LLDP frame contains information about how long the
information in the LLDP frame shall be considered valid.
The LLDP information valid period is set to Tx Hold
multiplied by Tx Interval seconds. Valid values are
restricted to 2 - 10 times.
Tx Delay
If some configuration is changed (e.g. the IP address) a new
LLDP frame is transmitted, but the time between the LLDP
frames will always be at least the value of Tx Delay
seconds. Tx Delay cannot be larger than 1/4 of the Tx
Interval value. Valid values are restricted to 1 - 8192
seconds.
Tx Reinit
When a port is disabled, LLDP is disabled or the switch is
