What action will a router take when it receives a frame with a broadcast MAC address?
- It will not forward the frame to another network.
- It forwards the frame back to the sending host.
- It forwards the frame out of all connected interfaces.
- It forwards the frame back out the receiving interface.
Explanation: Routers do not forward broadcasts to other networks. Routers examine broadcasts to determine if they need to act on the broadcast, such as an ARP request or a DHCP DISCOVER message. If the router does not need to respond to the broadcast, it is dropped.
