What happens to runt frames received by a Cisco Ethernet switch?

  • The frame is dropped.
  • The frame is returned to the originating network device.
  • The frame is broadcast to all other devices on the same network.
  • The frame is sent to the default gateway.

Explanation: In an attempt to conserve bandwidth and not forward useless frames, Ethernet devices drop frames that are considered to be runt (less than 64 bytes) or jumbo (greater than 1500 bytes) frames.
