What information in a frame does a switch or bridge use to populate the MAC address table?
Source MAC address and source port
Which criteria does the switch use to build dynamic Mac table?
address resolution protocol is used when the switch used to build the dynamic mac address table.
When would a switch record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table?
A switch would record multiple entries for a single switch port in its MAC address table if it does not contain the Mac address of a particular destination in the address table. It will broadcast to all ports besides the port where entry comes from.
A switch received a frame with a destination mac address that is currently not in the mac table what action does the switch performs?
It will broadcast to every port in the vlan.
What two methods can be used to remove MAC address table entries from a switch?
Power cycle the switch to clear all dynamically learned addresses, and the clear mac address table command will remove statically and dynamically configured table entires
A switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is currently not in the MAC table What action does the switch perform?
It duplicates the frame to all Ethernet ports, except the port it came from. A switch's MAC table is built not from destination addresses it receives, but by the source MAC addresses. So the frame is broadcast throughout the broadcast domain, until the end device with a matching MAC address responds to the broadcast, thus giving the switch a new source address to add to its MAC table.
What does switch' MAC address table keeps track of?
The switch keeps track of which computers (identified through their MAC addresses) are connected to which switch ports.The switch keeps track of which computers (identified through their MAC addresses) are connected to which switch ports.The switch keeps track of which computers (identified through their MAC addresses) are connected to which switch ports.The switch keeps track of which computers (identified through their MAC addresses) are connected to which switch ports.
If you reset a lan switch what happens to its mac table?
It's being reset too.
Where is a MAC address stored in a Switch?
Switches store the MAC addresses in an internal database called MAC Address Table. The entries in that table can be addresses learned by the switch or that can be entered manually by the switch administrator. This table is analogy to a router's routing table, only a switch operates at layer 2 whereas the router operate at Layer 3.
What would be the result if the MAC address table was flushed of dynamic entries?
The switch would broadcast frames out each port except the originating port until the switch learned all the MAC addresses connected to the switch.
What does a switch store in its switching table?
The destination mac addressof a frame and the port it was received on.
Which type of network device keeps a table of the MAC addresses of the devices connected to it?
The correct answer is switch.
