An ISDN link can be encapsulated using either PPP or HDLC. What are the advantages of using PPP? (Select two answer choices)
A.PPP is easier to configure and maintain than HDLC.
B.PPP is consistently implemented among different equipment vendors.
C.PPP will run faster and more efficiently than HDLC on circuit-switched ISDN links.
D.PPP authentication will prevent unauthorized callers from establishing an ISDN circuit.
E.PPP can be routed across public facilities, while HDLC is not routable in
circuit-switched networks.
F. PPP supports asynchronous communication.
Answer: B, D
Explanation:
PPP has numerous advantages over HDLC. Unlike HDLC which is Cisco proprietary, PPP was designed for multi-protocol interoperability. Secondly, PPP supports authentication, using either PAP or CHAP. Finally, PPP supports error correction and the use of bonded multilink circuits.
Incorrect Answers:
A. The default encapsulation is HDLC. PPP must be explicitly configured and there are many more options available with it, so it is more complicated than HDLC.
C. HDLC is slightly more efficient than PPP.
E.Neither PPP nor HDLC work in public circuit switched environments.
F.Although this is true, it would not be considered an advantage on an ISDN link, as ISDN signaling is not asynchronous.
