What is the source MAC address of the frame at the time of capture?
The source Mac Address, from which machine it is being transmitted.
What information in a frame does a switch or bridge use to populate the MAC address table?
Source MAC address and source port
Which address does a nic use when whether to accept frame?
Source MAC address
What type of address identifies the source of data in frame?
MAC
Which two statements describe the operation of an access layer ethernet switch choose two?
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.
How switch populate MAC Table?
by reading the source hardware address of a frame
What type of address identifies the source of data in a frame?
MAC
What happens when a frame from a source MAC address different from 00a8d2e4ba27 reaches switch port 015?
The frame is dropped
What information in an Ethernet frame is used by a Layer 2 switch to build its address table?
Source MAC-address
Why does destination mac address come before source mac address in an ethernet frame?
The destination MAC is before the source one for easier scanning, mostly because it is the destination device that is important as that is the device we are trying to reach.
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 the term dynamic indicate in the output that is?
The switch learned this MAC address from the source address in a frame received on Fa0/18.
