Exam 200-301 topic 1 question 205 discussion

I guess the guys in the comment misunderstand the question. if it said Which command is used to specify the delay time of 5 seconds for LLDP to initialize on any interface? the answer would be D. but if the question was (which is in our case) Which command should you enter to configure an LLDP delay time of 5 seconds? the answer would be B.

The correct answer to the question "Which command should you enter to configure an LLDP delay time of 5 seconds?" is D. lldp reinit 5. Explanation : LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) is a network protocol used to discover network devices and their properties. The lldp reinit command is used to set the delay time for reinitializing LLDP information after an interface has gone down and come back up. By default, this delay time is set to 2 seconds. To configure it to 5 seconds, you would enter the command lldp reinit 5. Option A, lldp timer 5000, sets the interval at which LLDP packets are sent, measured in seconds. Option B, lldp holdtime 5, sets the amount of time a device should retain information received from its neighbors before discarding it, measured in seconds. Option C, lldp reinit 5000, sets the delay time for reinitializing LLDP information, but the value is in milliseconds, not seconds. Therefore, the correct answer is D, lldp reinit 5.

I would have picked B if the word "delay" in the question was followed by the phrase "before discarding". The thing is, I don't consider hold time as being a delay in this case. If anything, it is a form of retention (holding on to it no matter how short). You can shorten the hold time to 5 seconds, sure, but it's not delaying anything. You're actually advancing the clock by speeding up the process and telling the protocol to hurry up and discard that 5 second-old record.

it´s D

Ithink its D

Answer is D. reinit Delay (in sec) for LLDP initialization on any interface

Correct answer

it's D

d correct answer
