Cisco CCNA 200-301 Practice Question

Which statement accurately describes the relationship between the control plane and data plane in a software-defined networking (SDN) architecture?

  • The data plane is centralized in a controller, while each switch retains its own distributed control plane.

  • Each network device runs both the control and data planes locally, making independent forwarding decisions.

  • Both control and data planes are centralized on the same server, and network devices act only as passive transceivers.

  • The control plane is logically centralized in a controller, and switches in the data plane forward traffic based on the controller's instructions.
