Which of the following statements describes part of the process of how a switch decides to forward a frame destined for a known unicast 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: A switch compares the destination MAC address to the MAC address table. If a matching entry is found, the switch forwards the frame out the appropriate interface. If no matching entry is found, the switch floods the frame.
