Set the following LLDP parameters for the profile configuration:
Enable LLDP Select this option to enable LLDP on the access point. LLDP is enabled by default. When enabled,
an access point advertises its identity, capabilities and configuration information to connected
peers and learns the same from them.
Hold Time Use the spinner control to set the hold time (in seconds) for transmitted LLDP PDUs. Set a value
from 10 - 1,800. The default hold time is 180 seconds.
Timer Set the interval used to transmit LLDP PDUs. Define an interval from 5 - 900 seconds. The default
setting is 60 seconds.
