Explanation

Network devices have three functional planes: data/forwarding, control, and management. The management plane handles device administration tasks such as configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol used to securely access and manage network devices via the management plane. ARP operates at the data plane (resolving IP to MAC addresses), ICMP is used for diagnostics but isn't a management plane protocol specifically, and BGP is a control plane routing protocol.
