CCNA Exam - Question 183


An engineer needs to configure LLDP to send the port description type length value (TLV). Which command sequence must be implemented?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

To configure Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to send the port description type length value (TLV) on a Cisco switch, the appropriate command sequence is to enter interface configuration mode and then apply the command. The correct command would be 'switch(config-if)#lldp port-description'. This command specifically configures the LLDP settings for the selected interface, ensuring that the port description TLV is sent for that particular interface.

The command should be: SW(config)#lldp tlv-select port-description

Yeah... the command sucks in this question. luckily to answer this one you don't even need to look at the command. LLDP is configured from global configuration mode and only one prompt is in that mode - regardless of the command, any LLDP configuration needs to be done from global config mode.

How about lldp transmit and lldp receive int-config commands?

I think this question will not be on ccna 200-301 exam topic.

if you were configuring a port description, wouldnt you need to be at the (config-if) level?

Tested the code multiple times in training. Renaming is just done with the config command. I almost put it in the catagory of message of the day

The differences between the two options: A. switch(config-if)#lldp port-description D. switch(config)#lldp port-description The correct answer is A because LLDP configuration is usually done at the interface level. The command lldp port-descriptionis used to configure the port description for LLDP on a specific interface. By entering the command in interface configuration mode ( config-if), this configuration is only applied to the selected interface. Option D is not correct because lldp port-descriptionis entered in global configuration mode. If you do this, the configuration will be applied globally to the entire device and not just to a specific interface.

badly written: TLV should written as Type, Length, Value, or Type-Length-Value, since there are three different columns!

Switch(config)#lldp tlv-select port-description this command exist

Going with D The command should be: SW(config)#lldp tlv-select port-description

It´s D

VanessaR05Option: A

The correct answer is A because LLDP configuration is usually done at the interface level.

LLDP is configured on the interface and CDP is in global configuration mode.

Joshua25Option: A
Oct 13, 2024

LLDP can be configured on either an individual interface or globally. However, you don't usually need to apply the configuration on all the ports. Therefore A is more likely to be correct. But anyway this is a bad question, another poorly designed question from Cisco.

La más lógica y correcta es la letra D, debido al modo de configuración que se encuentra el prompt (global configuration).

Me parece que nos estén intentando a decir lo mismo porque el comando no es correcto.

The default configured TLV is to send and receive all TLVs. To specify the port-description TLV, the following command should be used in the global configuration mode: switch(config)#lldp tlv-select port-description

the answer is A Check this on page no 2 https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2960/software/release/12-2_37_ey/configuration/guide/scg/swlldp.pdf

Disagree - Any mention of TLV (lldp tlv-select) on that page is in global config mode.

configuring which type-length values to enable is done in global config mode not interface config mode.....syntax is lldp + tlv-select + (enter TLV name)

The answer is A. To configure Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) to send the port description type length value (TLV) on a Cisco switch, the correct command sequence is: A. switch(config-if)#lldp port-description This command needs to be entered in the interface configuration mode. Here is the detailed command sequence:

1- Enable LLDP globally switch(config)# lldp run 2- Enable LLDP on a specific interface: Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 Switch(config-if)# lldp transmit Switch(config-if)# lldp receive 3- Configure the Port Description (if needed) (To manually set a port description): Switch(config-if)# description "Port 1 - Connected to Device XYZ" The Qstn was to config the LLDP globally, so "D"

TO enable lldp in global config what is needed is lldp run as for specific for lldp which will configured per interface

XdarkraiOption: D
Dec 28, 2024

I take back my former answer I take it back D should be the answer because TLV is enable after global config command lldp run

Nihat99Option: D

Switch(config-if)# lldp tlv-select port-description
