ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
456
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
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
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
