Drag and Drop Question Drag and drop the statement about networking from the left into the Corresponding networking types on the right. Not all statements are used. Answer:

The correct answer is Controller-based networking; The type deploys a consistent configuration across multipe device; southbound APIs are used to apply configurations; Traditional networking; A distributed contol plane is needed; This type requies a distributed management plane. Controller-based networking uses a centralized controller that deploys consistent configurations across multiple devices simultaneously and uses southbound APIs (like OpenFlow, NETCONF) to communicate with and apply configurations to network devices. Traditional networking relies

Correct arrangement

Controller-based networking
The type deploys a consistent configuration across multipe device
southbound APIs are used to apply configurations
Traditional networking
A distributed contol plane is needed
This type requies a distributed management plane

Explanation

Controller-based networking uses a centralized controller that deploys consistent configurations across multiple devices simultaneously and uses southbound APIs (like OpenFlow, NETCONF) to communicate with and apply configurations to network devices. Traditional networking relies on a distributed control plane where each device independently makes forwarding decisions, and requires a distributed management plane where each device is configured individually. Northbound APIs interact with applications/orchestration systems above the controller, not directly with end devices, making that statement incorrect for either category.
