I didn't know that! Surprised it's not more common knowledge.

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought it was related to security policies.

A linkup or linkdown trap triggers Layer 2 polling.

I feel like the correct answer is definitely related to security policies, but I can't recall the specifics right now.

I'm a bit confused; I thought Layer 3 polling was more relevant, but maybe a failed Layer 3 poll could lead to Layer 2 polling?

I remember practicing a question about polling, and I think it had to do with matched profiling rules.

I think Layer 2 polling might be triggered by a linkup or linkdown trap, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm pretty confident that the correct answer is D. A linkup or linkdown trap would definitely trigger layer 2 polling of the connected devices.

Okay, I've got this. Layer 2 polling is triggered by events like link up/down, so I'm going to go with option D.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on the difference between layer 2 and layer 3 polling. I'll need to review my notes on network fundamentals before attempting this.

This is a tricky one, but I think I can figure it out. Let me think through the different layer 2 and layer 3 polling mechanisms.

I believe it's D) A linkup or linkdown trap because that's a common event that would require polling of infrastructure devices.

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C. Profiling rules and security policies both seem like they could trigger a Layer 2 poll, but I'm leaning towards C. Gotta love those juicy, juicy profiling rules, am I right?

But security policies could also be a factor, so B might be a good choice too.

I agree with Lura, because when a link goes up or down, it triggers Layer 2 polling.

I'm going with D. Linkup and linkdown traps are the classic way to monitor connectivity at Layer 2. Plus, it's the only option that specifically mentions Layer 2 polling.

I'm not so sure about that. What if the infrastructure device is configured to send a trap when a security policy is matched? Wouldn't that also trigger a Layer 2 poll?

D seems like the obvious choice here. I mean, if a device's link status changes, that's definitely going to trigger a Layer 2 poll, right?
