User Guidelines

The actual Time-To-Live (TTL) value of LLDP frames is calculated by the

following formula:

TTL = min(65535, LLDP-Timer * LLDP-hold-multiplier)

For example, if the value of the LLDP timer is 30 seconds, and the value of

the LLDP hold multiplier is 4, then the value 120 is encoded in the TTL field

of the LLDP header.
