A Layer 2 switch receives an untagged Ethernet frame on access port FastEthernet 0/1, which is assigned to VLAN 20. The destination MAC address of the frame is not present in the switch's CAM (MAC address) table. Switch port FastEthernet 0/24 is configured as an 802.1Q trunk port with a native VLAN of 20 and allowed VLANs 10, 20, and 30. Switch port FastEthernet 0/12 is an access port in VLAN 10, and FastEthernet 0/13 is an access port in VLAN 20. How will the switch process and forward this frame?
- The switch floods the frame untagged out FastEthernet 0/13 and untagged out trunk port FastEthernet 0/24, while omitting FastEthernet 0/12.Cevap
- BThe switch encapsulates the frame with an 802.1Q VLAN 20 tag before forwarding it out trunk port FastEthernet 0/24, and sends it untagged out FastEthernet 0/13.
- CThe switch floods the frame out all operational interfaces including FastEthernet 0/12, FastEthernet 0/13, and FastEthernet 0/24, because unknown unicast frames ignore VLAN boundaries.
- DThe switch inspects the Layer 3 IP header to determine the destination subnet and forwards the frame out FastEthernet 0/12 after modifying the VLAN tag.
Cevap
The switch floods the frame untagged out FastEthernet 0/13 and untagged out trunk port FastEthernet 0/24, while omitting FastEthernet 0/12.
The incoming frame enters on access port FastEthernet 0/1 in VLAN 20. When a switch receives a frame with an unmapped destination MAC address (unknown unicast), it floods the frame to every active interface within that specific VLAN except the ingress port. FastEthernet 0/13 is in VLAN 20, so it receives the frame untagged. Trunk port FastEthernet 0/24 allows VLAN 20, but since VLAN 20 is configured as the native VLAN on that trunk, 802.1Q rules dictate that the frame is transmitted without a VLAN header tag. FastEthernet 0/12 belongs to VLAN 10 and is isolated from VLAN 20 traffic.
