Which characteristic best describes the control plane of a networking device? (Choose three.)
- Information sent to this plane is processed by the CPU.
- This plane is also called the forwarding plane.
- This plane makes forwarding decisions.
- This plane contains router protocol neighbor and topology tables.
- This plane is responsible for switching frames out the interfaces.
Explanation: The control plane is typically regarded as the brains of a device. It is used to make forwarding decisions. The control plane contains Layer 2 and Layer 3 route forwarding mechanisms, such as routing protocol neighbor tables and topology tables, IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables, STP, and the ARP table. Information sent to the control plane is processed by the CPU.
