Switch SW2 receives an ingress Ethernet frame on interface GigabitEthernet0/5 configured as an access port in VLAN 20. The frame contains a source MAC address of 0010.ab12.3456 and a destination MAC address of 0010.ab99.8877. A review of SW2's MAC address table reveals that neither MAC address currently exists in the table for VLAN 20. Which two actions does the switch take upon processing this frame? (Select two.)
- Records MAC address 0010.ab12.3456 associated with interface GigabitEthernet0/5 in the VLAN 20 MAC address table.Cevap
- Floods the frame out all active interfaces assigned to VLAN 20, excluding interface GigabitEthernet0/5.Cevap
- CFloods the frame out all operational interfaces across all configured VLANs on the switch.
- DDrops the frame immediately because the destination MAC address is not present in the MAC address table.
- EGenerates and sends an ARP request from interface GigabitEthernet0/5 to resolve the IP address corresponding to MAC 0010.ab99.8877.
Cevap
The switch records the source MAC address 0010.ab12.3456 dynamically under GigabitEthernet0/5 in VLAN 20, and floods the unknown unicast frame out all active ports in VLAN 20 except the ingress port GigabitEthernet0/5.
When a switch receives a frame, it performs two distinct steps: learning and forwarding. First, it reads the incoming frame's source MAC address and associates it with the receiving port and VLAN in its MAC address table. Second, it checks the destination MAC address. Because the destination is not in the table, it treats the frame as unknown unicast and floods it out all active ports in the same VLAN except the receiving port.
