Refer to the exhibit. A PC with the MAC address of 0800.069d.3841 attached to port Fa0/8 is sending data to a device that has the MAC address of 6400.6a5a.6821. What will the switch do first to handle the data transfer?

• The switch will add the address 0800.069d.3841 to the MAC address table.
• The switch will send the frame to ports Fa0/4 and Fa0/6.
• The switch will flood the frame out all ports except port Fa0/8.
• The switch will send the frame to port Fa0/6.
• The switch will add the address 6400.6151.6821 to the MAC address table.
