Network Fundamentals

Which network action takes place in the data plane?

  • A reply to an incoming ICMP echo request
  • B make a configuration change from an incoming NETCONF RPC
  • C run routing protocols (OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, BGP)
  • D compare the destination IP address to the IP routing table
Explanation

The data plane performs packet-forwarding work on transit traffic, including looking at a packet’s destination IP address and matching it against the routing or forwarding table so the device can send the packet out the correct interface. Routing protocols such as OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, and BGP operate in the control plane, and NETCONF configuration changes are part of the management plane. Cisco documentation describes the data plane as the forwarding plane that forwards packets based on decisions previously made by the control plane.
