Loop guard and UniDirectional Link Detection both protect against Layer 2 STP loops. In which two ways does loop guard differ from UDLD in loop detection and prevention? (Choose two.)
A.
Loop guard can be used with root guard simultaneously on the same port on the same VLAN while UDLD cannot.
B.
UDLD protects against STP failures caused by cabling problems that create one-way links.
C.
Loop guard detects and protects against duplicate packets being received and transmitted on different ports.
D.
UDLD protects against unidirectional cabling problems on copper and fiber media.
E.
Loop guard protects against STP failures caused by problems that result in the loss of BPDUs from a designated switch port.
Explanation:
The Cisco-proprietary UDLD protocol allows devices connected through fiber-optic or copper (for example, Category 5 cabling) Ethernet cables connected to LAN ports to monitor the physical configuration of the cables and detect when a unidirectional link exists. When a unidirectional link is detected, UDLD shuts down the affected LAN port and alerts the user. Unidirectional links can cause a variety of problems, including spanning tree topology loops.UDLD is a Layer 2 protocol that works with the Layer 1 protocols to determine the physical status of a link. At Layer 1, autonegotiation takes care of physical signaling and fault detection. UDLD performs tasks that autonegotiation cannot perform, such as detecting the identities of neighbors and shutting down misconnected LAN ports. When you enable both autonegotiation and UDLD, Layer 1 and Layer 2 detections work together to prevent physical and logical unidirectional connections and the malfunctioning of other protocols.
Based on the various design considerations, you can choose either UDLD or the loop guard feature. In regards to STP, the most noticeable difference between the two features is the absence of protection in UDLD against STP failures caused by problems in software. As a result, the designated switch does not send BPDUs. However, this type of failure is (by an order of magnitude) more rare than failures caused by unidirectional links. In return, UDLD might be more flexible in the case of unidirectional links on EtherChannel. In this case, UDLD disables only failed links, and the channel should remain functional with the links that remain. In such a failure, the loop guard puts it into loop-inconsistent state in order to block the whole channel.
Additionally, loop guard does not work on shared links or in situations where the link has been unidirectional since the link-up. In the last case, the port never receives BPDU and becomes designated. Because this behaviour could be normal, this particular case is not covered by loop guard. UDLD provides protection against such a scenario.
Shouldn’t the answer be D and E? In the explanation it states “the absence of protection in UDLD against STP failures caused by problems in software”. This means UDLD MAY NOT provide protection against STP failures. To me, UDLD provides protection against unidirectional problems which in turn would provide some sort of protection against STP loops (non-software ONLY). I’ve seen other tests that have D and E correct also. Any thoughts?
Yes it should be B and D as E is wrong – it only applies to non-designated or non-root i.e. blocking ports that transition to forwarding in the case they think the port can safely do so due to the loss of BPDUs.
As per my understanding, UDLD dont work on Copper links
In my opinion B,D and E are true.
B – UDLD has nothing to do with STP, but it can protect STP from one-way link caused failures
D – is true however UDLD switched on globally causes it to work on fiber ports only
E – describes about how loop-guard works; Normally a blocked port has a designated port on the other end of the link and if it stops hearing BPDU from that port will become designated (forwarding) itself; Loop-guard prevents it resulting inconsistent state.
It is unclear, but I would choose B,E.
