Which statement about LLDP and LLDP-MED operations on EX Series devices is correct?
A.
LLDP only operates on interfaces configured for Layer 2
B.
EX Series devices flood LLDP frames across a Layer 2 domain to calculate a network topology
C.
EX Series devices support LLDP-MED power negotiation, enabling dynamic allocation of PoE power based on endpoint device needs.
D.
LLDP-MED focuses on discovering network connectivity devices like routers and switches.
The Answer Is:
C
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Junos OS 24.4 on EX Series switches provides robust support for LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) and its extension, LLDP-MED (Media Endpoint Discovery).
LLDP-MED Power Negotiation: This feature allows a switch (Power Sourcing Equipment or PSE) and a connected device (Powered Device or PD), such as an IP phone or access point, to negotiate power requirements beyond the standard IEEE 802.3af/at classes. The switch can dynamically allocate the exact amount of power the device needs (in 0.1W increments), which optimizes the power budget of the switch.
LLDP Scope: LLDP is a Link Layer protocol (Layer 2), but it is not restricted to Layer 2 interfaces; it can also operate on Layer 3 interfaces to advertise system identity and capabilities. This makes Option A incorrect.
Link-Local Protocol: LLDP frames use a specific multicast MAC address (01:80:c2:00:00:0e) that is not flooded or forwarded by switches. They are strictly link-local between two directly connected neighbors. This makes Option B incorrect.
Endpoint Focus: LLDP-MED is specifically designed for Media Endpoint Devices (like VoIP phones), providing TLVs for network policy (VLAN/QoS), location identification, and inventory management. Standard LLDP is used for discovering network connectivity devices. This makes Option D incorrect.
