Which characteristics best describe the data plane of a networking device? (Choose three.)
- This plane is the brains of the device.
- This plane is used to forward traffic flows.
- Information in this plane is typically processed by a special processor.
- This plane contains IPv4 and IPv6 routing tables.
- This plane is typically made up of a switch fabric connecting the various ports on a device.
Explanation: The data plane is also called the forwarding plane. It is typically the switch fabric connecting the various network ports on a device. Routers and switches use information from the control plane to forward incoming traffic out the appropriate egress interface. Information in the data plane is typically processed by a special data plane processor without the CPU getting involved.
