CDP & LLDP Questions 2

q12
cdp can share VTP information .
i think E also correct . please advice !

I think CDP only shows what VTP domain the other device belongs to but not exactly VTP information. I guess VTP has it’s own packets to send out and NOT use CDP packets to tag the information.

Question 10
Which two settings are part of a default LLDP configuration? (Choose two)
A. The LLDP hold time is 60 seconds
B. The LLDP global state is disabled
C. The LLDP reinitialisation delay is 5 seconds
D. The LLDP interface state is enabled
E. The LLDP timer is 60 seconds
Answer: B D
I think the ANSWER D is not correct, Please see the bellow link on Default LLDP Configuration.

hi does any one have an idea on CDP concepts,

Which two statements about CDP are true? (Choose two)
A. CDP uses a TLV to advertise the native VLAN
B. CDP is not supported with SNMP
C. CDP is supported on Frame Relay sub interfaces
D. CDP runs on OSI layer 2
E. CDP runs on OSI layer 1

i am not sure if Answer C is correct or not , i could see in some of the website that answer C is correct.
in this website we have A and D is correct
kindly clarify my doubt.

Thank You,
Jack

@Jack CDP is Not supported on Frame relay.
Trust me on this one.
CDP will transit through the Frame Relay PVC carried by the FR switch. By default it’s disabled on FR interfaces, but you can enable it. Then the end point routers will see one another, but you won’t see the intermediate frame switch(es).
Yes, CDP is layer-2. However, the frame switch is a frame switch. CDP isn’t frame-relay, so it will ignore it. Once a PVC is created, CDP will flow through it, but not before.

Hello, guys! Could you explain why Q10 answer D is correct and why Q12 answer C is correct? I tested CDP for Q12 with native VLAN mismatch in CPT and UNL. Yes, I get a notification every time, but CDP still works and I can see neighbor switch via ‘show cdp neighbors’.

Question10 ans D is not correct as Cisco documentation says. So anybody bother to explain why D is correct?

@Addie, i think that is correct in fact. It is the default after LLDp has been enabled globally.
have a look at this link for more details.
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/sw/5_x/nx-os/system_management/configuration/guide/sm_nx_os_cg/sm_lldp.html#74642

can someone explain further onto question 12 as to why C. It is disabled when switches have mismatched native VLANs is correct ?

I ran a short lab with 2 switches and purposeless configured an incorrect native vlan and I was seeing native vlan mismatches via cdp and was also able to still run show cdp neighbor. I am thinking the correct answers are B,E cand anyone advise ?

100% in agreement with Joe – E is correct, not C.
!
Mismatched native VLANs never have and never will bring CDP down on a port.
In fact, CDP is what discovered the native VLAN mismatch in the first place.
!
Parse “sh log” to the CLI and you will see the error endlessly being logged by CDP because CDP is alive and well on the port in question.
!
Come to think of, I’ve never heard of a protocol engineered to detect a condition who’s actions upon detecting said condition would be to disable thy self.
!
Not saying such a protocol doesn’t or couldn’t exist, It’s just that the concept of a suicidal protocol makes no sense to me.
!
Anyway. . . E is correct, not C.
VTP relies on Cisco Discovery Protocol to carry VTP domain information.
!
TVL fields are blocks of information embedded in CDP advertisements.
“VTP Management Domain” is a TLV field that exists within CDP advertisements.
!
The “VTP Management Domain” TLV field advertises exactly what it’s name implies.
It advertises the configured VTP management domain name of the system.
!
Please update Question 12 to reflect B & E to be correct.
!
Hope you found this both entertaining and informative.

Fellas,
Question 10 is not correctly formed, it ask for 2 answers, but only 1 is correct, which is B.
Where did this question come from? Cisco exams?

Question 12.
There is only 1 correct answer, B.
C is incorrect, as CDP is used only for Syslog Lv4 info, informing this “%CDP-4-NATIVE_VLAN_MISMATCH”.
CDP is running even when that syslog info is showing.
Question 12 is not consistent with real world environment, please review it, as it is misleading people.

See…
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12-2/46sg/configuration/guide/Wrapper-46SG/swlldp.html

So I believe it was question 12 that has been already removed from here. It is still in the Quiz section so it should be put back up here. I can only see 10 questions. Anyhow, this is the question:

Which 2 statements about CDP are true? (Choose two)
A Devices with CDP send advertisements to broadcast address periodically
B It can be disabled only at interface level
C It is disabled when switches have native VLAN mismatch
D VTP relies on CDP to carry VTP domain information
E Devices with CDP send advertisements to multicast address periodically

So, we know right off the bat that A is not correct and thus E is correct. We also know that B is not correct as we can use (config)#no cdp run to disable CDP. So this leaves us with C and D.
D is incorrect as you can disable CDP entirely and still run VTP in your switch domain. VTP information will have its own advertisements. Notice it says “relies” as in “this is the only way to get VTP info to the other switch” and that is false.
That would leave C as the other answer, but is it correct though? Well lets look at the answer
“It is disabled when switches have native VLAN mismatch”
Nowhere does it say that this should be the default behavior (and it isn’t) but we know that CDP will send syslog messages often advising the Native VLAN mismatch. So the recommendation when that happens is to disable CDP for that interface (if the intended design was to have different Native VLANs on that trunk link of course) and that makes C a correct answer.

Cisco exams are incredibly tricky like that. Answers are usually the “best one” and not always fully correct. Is true that CDP is not disabled BY DEFAULT when there is a Native VLAN mismatch but nowhere in option C does it say that is disabled by default.

according to the below
d is not correct
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3560/software/release/12-2_55_se/configuration/guide/3560_scg/swlldp.html#62146

Table 25-1 Default LLDP Configuration

q10. the questions says chose two answer from Five Choice .right answer is will be
A. LLDP hold time 60 —-wrong it is 120 sec
B. LLDP global state disabled by default—–Right
C. LLDP reintialization delay time 5 seconds—–Wrong it is 2 sec
D. LLDP default interface state is enabled —— Right (if even cisco documentation shows as Disabled)
E. LLDP Timer is 60 seconds—-wrong it is 30 seconds.

What do you think.

who needs IP HELPER dump can contact me at: philipsmeloo(at)gmail(dot)com

Beware of Q10, in the actual exam there’s another version of this question where D states that the default interface state is enabled [wrong] and C states that the reinitialization delay time is 2 seconds [right].
