Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 338

Which traffic is handled on the control plane?

Answer options

• A. BGP
• B. SMB
• C. NTP
• D. NETCONF

Correct answer: A

Explanation

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging routing information between systems on the internet, and it operates on the control plane. In contrast, SMB (Server Message Block), NTP (Network Time Protocol), and NETCONF are primarily application-level protocols or management protocols that do not directly deal with routing decisions in the control plane.
