| reinit integer | Specifies the delay (in sec) for LLDP initialization on any interface. | |||
| timer integer | Specifies the rate at which LLDP packets are sent (in sec). | |||
| tlv_select dictionary | Specifies the LLDP TLVs to enable or disable. | |||
| link_aggregation boolean |

| max_frame_size boolean |
| Enable or disable maximum frame size TLV. | ||
| port_description boolean |

| running_config string | This option is used only with state parsed. The value of this option should be the output received from the EOS device by executing the command show running-config | section lldp. The state parsed reads the configuration from running_config option and transforms it into Ansible structured data as per the resource module's argspec and the value is then returned in the parsed key within the result. | |||
| state string |
| The state of the configuration after module completion. | ||
