Which of the following statements describes part of the process of how a LAN switch decides to forward a frame destined for a broadcast MAC address?
- It compares the unicast destination address to the bridging, or MAC address, table.
- It compares the unicast source address to the bridging, or MAC address, table.
- It forwards the frame out all interfaces in the same VLAN except for the incoming interface.
- It compares the destination IP address to the destination MAC address.
- It compares the frame’s incoming interface to the source MAC entry in the MAC address table.
Explanation: switch floods broadcast frames, multicast frames (if no multicast optimizations are enabled), and unknown unicast destination frames (frames whose destination MAC address is not in the MAC address table).
