Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Control plane: OMP route exchange and BGP/OSPF peering
The control plane handles OMP and routing protocols; the data plane forwards traffic using IPsec tunnels; the management plane provides CLI/GUI and APIs; the orchestration plane handles zero-touch provisioning and authentication.
Quick reference
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
