  • AControl Plane Nodecorrect
  • BFabric Border Node
  • CFabric Edge Node

A Control Plane Node

Exam tip

Read what the question is actually asking before looking at the options. The wrong answers here are ones candidates genuinely pick — each is true of something adjacent, just not of what was asked.
