It stores frames in temporary buffer space
it floods and notes the source address
it associates the source address with a particular port.
address resolution protocol is used when the switch used to build the dynamic mac address table.
Source MAC-address
the source Layer 2 address of incoming frames
Each Ethernet frame sent from one computer to another includes the source and the destionation MAC addresses. It is from these addresses that the switch learns what device is connected to the port. At first, the switch won't know the destination address; in that case, it will broadcast the frame through all of its ports. But soon it learns this information. It is also possible, in some switches, to add the MAC address through configuration commands.
A switch builds a MAC address table, which contains the MAC addresses of devices connected to its ports along with the corresponding port numbers. When a switch receives a data frame, it reads the source MAC address and updates its table if the address is not already present. To send data to a specific device, the switch looks up the destination MAC address in its table and forwards the frame out of the appropriate port associated with that address. If the destination address is not found, the switch broadcasts the frame to all ports except the one it received it on.
The source MAC address within a frame is used by the switch to associate a port with that MAC address. Frames are directed by the switch from one port to another based on the destination MAC address within the frame.
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.
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.
ARP
Switch working in Data link layer of OSI Model which is working my MAC address it is sending receiving packets by Mac address which switch make mac tale in RAM to save all information.
