Zorluk: OrtaLayer 2 Discovery Protocols (CDP and LLDP)

A network engineer receives an security alert regarding an unexpected network device connected to interface GigabitEthernet1/0/5 on a Cisco switch. To inspect the neighboring device details via Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), the engineer executes the `show lldp entry Switch-B` command and receives the following output:

Capability codes:
(R) Router, (B) Bridge, (T) Telephone, (W) WLAN Access Point, (P) Repeater

Local Intf: Gi1/0/5
Chassis id: 0026.99a1.b2c0
Port id: Gi0/1
Port Description: Uplink-to-Core
System Name: Switch-B

System Capabilities: B, R
Enabled Capabilities: B

Management Addresses:
IP: 192.168.10.50

Based on this command output, which statement accurately describes the remote neighbor device?

  1. The remote device is identified as Switch-B, connected via its own GigabitEthernet0/1 interface, and is currently operating with Layer 2 bridging capability enabled.Cevap
  2. B
    The local switch receives LLDP messages on interface GigabitEthernet0/1 from the remote device's local port GigabitEthernet1/0/5.
  3. C
    The remote device is actively routing IP packets across subnets because both Router (R) and Bridge (B) system capabilities are listed.
  4. D
    The remote device is transmitting Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) Type-Length-Value (TLV) attributes to advertise management address 192.168.10.50.

Cevap

The remote device is identified as Switch-B, connected via its own GigabitEthernet0/1 interface, and is currently operating with Layer 2 bridging capability enabled.
The correct answer accurately interprets the LLDP entry output fields: 'System Name: Switch-B' identifies the neighbor hostname, 'Port id: Gi0/1' specifies the remote interface, and 'Enabled Capabilities: B' confirms the neighbor is currently functioning as a Layer 2 bridge/switch.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the local and remote interface mapping from the LLDP output.
'Local Intf: Gi1/0/5' indicates the port on the local switch executing the command, while 'Port id: Gi0/1' indicates the connected port on the remote neighbor.
LLDP outputs separate local receiving ports from remote transmitting port IDs.
2
Evaluate system capabilities versus enabled capabilities.
'System Capabilities: B, R' indicates the hardware supports Bridge and Router functions, but 'Enabled Capabilities: B' proves only Layer 2 bridging is active.
Operational status is determined strictly by enabled capabilities, not total supported capabilities.
3
Verify device identity and protocol context.
The device name is Switch-B, and the information is obtained via standard LLDP TLVs.
System Name displays the hostname configured on the remote LLDP neighbor.

Anahtar Kavram

Interpretation of LLDP neighbor entry outputs, distinguishing local vs. remote interfaces and system vs. enabled capabilities.
