Which of the following protocols is responsible for negotiating upper-layer protocols that will be carried across a
Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) connection?

A.
LCP

B.
NCP

C.
LMI

D.
ISDN

Explanation:
Network Control Protocol (NCP) is responsible for negotiating upper-layer protocols that will be carried across
the PPP connection. NCP defines how the two PPP peers negotiate with the network layer protocols, such as
IP and IPX, which will be used across the PPP connection.
Link Control protocol (LCP) is not responsible for negotiating upper-layer protocols that will be carried across a
PPP connection. Link Control protocol (LCP) has the primary responsibility of negotiating and maintaining the
PPP connection. LCP, defined in Request for Comments (RFCs) 1548 and 1570, has the primary responsibility
to establish, configure, authenticate, and test a PPP connection. LCP negotiates the following when setting up a
PPP connection:
Authentication method used (PAP or CHAP), if any
Compression algorithm used (Stacker or Predictor), if any
Callback phone number to use, if defined
Multilink; other physical connections to use, if configured
Local Management Interface (LMI) is not responsible for negotiating upper-layer protocols that will be carried
across the PPP connection. LMI is a characteristic of a frame relay connection. There are three types of LMIs
supported by Cisco routers:
Cisco
ANSI Annex D
Q933-A Annex A
LMI has nothing to do with PPP connections.
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) is a type of WAN connection and has nothing to do with PPP
connections.
