A network administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue in a Layer 2 switched network. After issuing the show macaddresstable command on the access switch, the administrator observes that there is no entry for the host that is experiencing the problems. The host machine is powered on and appears to be functioning normally. What can be deduced from this?

• The host machine does not have a physical connection to the switched network.
• ARP does not function on the host machine.
• The show mac-address-table command only displays the destination MAC address, so there should not be an entry for the host machine until data is sent to it.
• The show mac-address-table command only displays the MAC address of devices that are connected to the native VLAN.
• The host machine is connected to the wrong port on the local switch.
