200-301 Question #1: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is D: Only controller-based networks decouple the control plane and the data plane. Most traditional devices use a distributed architecture, in which each control plane is resided in a networking device. Therefore they need to communicate with each other via messages to work In contrast to distributed architecture, centralized (or controller-based) architectures

Question

Which statement correctly compares traditional networks and controller-based networks?

Options

  • AOnly traditional networks offer a centralized control plane
  • BOnly traditional networks natively support centralized management
  • CTraditional and controller-based networks abstract policies from device configurations
  • DOnly controller-based networks decouple the control plane and the data plane

Explanation

Most traditional devices use a distributed architecture, in which each control plane is resided in a networking device. Therefore they need to communicate with each other via messages to work In contrast to distributed architecture, centralized (or controller-based) architectures centralizes the control of networking devices into one device, called SDN controller -> Answer D is correct.
