sometimes when interface configured with a static IP address, which is not

correct, the host does not communicate to the port, and switch has no MAC

address. I've seen it just two days ago - had an Linux appliance with a

static IP address configured on the interface. Plugged interface to the

switch, port says "Connected", but no MAC address in the CAM table. After I

changed an IP address to whatever it should be for the VLAN - NIC started to

communicate, and MAC address appears on the port.

What information in a frame does a switch or bridge use to populate the MAC address table?

Source MAC address and source port


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.
