Use the abbreviated MAC addresses in the MAC address table to determine the correct answer. A PC connected to port Gi0/3 sends data to a PC connected to port Gi0/5. When the switch receives the data, what will the switch do to process the frame?
Port MAC address Gi0/3 AA Gi0/7 AB
- Add the destination MAC address to the switch MAC address table.
- Forward the data out all ports except for port Gi0/3.
- Forward the data to port Gi0/3.
- Forward the data out all ports.
- Add both the source and destination MAC addresses to the switch MAC address table.
Explanation: After the switch has recorded the source address information, the switch examines the destination MAC address. If the destination address is not in the MAC table or if itβs a broadcast MAC address, as indicated by all Fs, the switch floods the frame to all ports, except the ingress port (Gi0/3).
