2.
Set the TTL multiplier.
lldp hold-multiplier value
The default setting is 4.
3.
Set the LLDP frame
transmission interval.
lldp timer tx-interval

The default setting is 30
seconds.
4.
Set the token bucket size for
sending LLDP frames.
lldp max-credit

The default setting is 5.
5.
Set the number of LLDP
frames sent each time fast
LLDP frame transmission is
triggered.

The default setting is 4.
6.
Set the interval for fast LLDP
frame transmission.
lldp timer fast-interval
interval
The default setting is 1 second.
Setting an encapsulation format for LLDP frames
LLDP frames can be encapsulated in the following formats:
•
Ethernet
II
—With Ethernet II encapsulation configured, an LLDP port sends LLDP frames in
Ethernet II frames.
•
SNAP
—With SNAP encapsulation configured, an LLDP port sends LLDP frames in SNAP
frames.
LLDP of earlier versions requires the same encapsulation format on both ends to process LLDP
frames. To successfully communicate with a neighboring device running LLDP of earlier versions,
the local device must be configured with the same encapsulation format.
To set the encapsulation format for LLDP frames to SNAP:

Configuring CDP compatibility
When the switch is directly connected to a Cisco device that supports only CDP rather than LLDP,
you can enable CDP compatibility to enable the switch to exchange information with the
directly-connected device.
CDP compatibility enables the switch to use LLDP to receive and recognize CDP packets from the
directly-connected device and send CDP packets to the directly-connected device. The packets that
the switch sends to the neighboring CDP device carry the following information:
