SG0-001 · Question #87

Which of the following is a neighbor discovery protocol that sends out and receives detailed Layer 2 network information to other connected access devices and can be used by any vendor?

The correct answer is D. LLDP. LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is an open-standard, vendor-neutral neighbor discovery protocol that allows network devices to advertise and receive detailed Layer 2 information from directly connected devices.

Why each option

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is an open-standard, vendor-neutral neighbor discovery protocol that allows network devices to advertise and receive detailed Layer 2 information from directly connected devices.

AFCOE

FCOE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) is a technology that encapsulates Fibre Channel frames over Ethernet networks, not a neighbor discovery protocol.

BLDAP

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services, completely unrelated to network neighbor discovery.

CCDP

CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) is a proprietary Layer 2 protocol used by Cisco devices to share information about themselves with other directly connected Cisco devices, and it is not vendor-neutral.

DLLDPCorrect

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is an IEEE 802.1AB standard protocol designed for network devices to advertise their identity, capabilities, and other information on a LAN. Unlike proprietary protocols like CDP, LLDP is vendor-neutral, allowing interoperability between different manufacturers' equipment.
