I know Control and Data Planes are Tables, they are the RIB and copy of the RIB<br />
What about Management Plane?
</div>


<div>
Management plane is how you communicate with the device. &nbsp;So when you SSH into a router, once inside the router, that traffic is now on the management plane.
</div>


<div>
ok..<br />
so management plane traffic &nbsp;is stored in form of &nbsp;file in the chip ?<br />
Control/Data planes are also stored in forms of files in the Chip, they are just called tables..
</div>


<div>
No...<br />
<br />
These planes are not just a location. &nbsp;They are also a path and a process.

Physical Parts of Control/Data/Management Plane.<br />
<br />
reading about Control/Data/Management Planes , if I understand :<br />
<br />
Control plane is where the Routing table is built.<br />
Data Plane or also called Forwarding plane contains a copy of RIB<br />
Management Plane , I am not sure what it is, probably it is just the interface of the router or the switch to which we connect to.<br />
<br />
What I need to know, is the hardware that the above elements run on.<br />
<br />
for instance does Control &nbsp;plane encompasses CPU , Memory , or it is completely different Chip ? the same question applies for Data plane and Management Plane, on which hardware do they run on?<br />
<br />
Thank you

Physical Parts of Control/Data/Management Plane.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.

Switches / Hubs

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
