Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 76

On which network plane is routing protocol traffic handled?

Answer options

• A. management plane
• B. data plane
• C. authentication plane
• D. control plane

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as routing protocols operate on the control plane, which is responsible for making decisions about where traffic should be sent. The management plane handles administrative functions, the data plane is for actual data transfer, and the authentication plane focuses on verifying user credentials, none of which directly manage routing protocols.
