What are two reasons a network administrator would use CDP? (Choose two.)

CDP does not provide information about the specific type of cable (e.g., straight-through, crossover, fiber type) used to interconnect devices.

CDP provides device identity, capability, and port information, but it does not detail the operational status of network services running on a remote device.

While CDP provides switchport information, it does not typically provide detailed VLAN configuration specific to individual VLANs on directly connected switches.

If Layer 3 connectivity (IP routing) fails, CDP can still operate at Layer 2 to verify that a physical connection exists and that the devices are exchanging CDP advertisements, confirming basic Layer 2 reachability.

CDP provides information about directly connected devices, including their IP addresses, which can be useful for a network administrator to identify and then remotely connect (e.g., via Telnet or SSH) to the discovered device for further configuration or troubleshooting.

CDP is a discovery protocol for device information, not a tool for determining the operational status of routing protocols running between devices; that requires specific routing protocol commands.
