Hey guys, just had a few questions about plane separation for my network, so from what I can gather, the main reasons for the separation of the management and data planes is for the ability to filter and add rules to the traffic independently, to keep your management traffic away from your high bandwidth traffic so they don't interfere with each others capabilities and that if your data network goes down you can still manage the network devices.
Is there anything I'm missing or misunderstanding?
I'm also wondering whether or not this is still a worthwhile thing to do with a router-as-a-stick configuration? You still get the ability to add filters and rules onto the separate traffic but since both planes are on the same interface, their capabilities are tied together at the bandwidth of the interface so you don't really get any of the other benefits.
What are your opinions on separation of planes, is it something you think is important?
