QuestionQ359

Network Access

Which protocol is used by an access point to obtain power from a connected switch?

  • A Internet Group Management Protocol
  • B Cisco Discovery Protocol
  • C Adaptive Wireless Path Protocol
  • D Neighbor Discovery Protocol
Explanation

Cisco Discovery Protocol is used by Cisco devices to exchange neighbor information, including inline power details for Power over Ethernet. An access point can use CDP with a connected switch to request and negotiate the power it needs. IGMP manages multicast group membership, AWPP is for wireless mesh path selection, and NDP handles IPv6 neighbor functions rather than switch-delivered power negotiation.
