What contact does IPv4 make with the destination before sending a packet?
Before sending a packet, IPv4 establishes contact with the destination by using the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to map the destination IP address to a MAC (Media Access Control) address on the local network. If the destination is on a different network, IPv4 sends the packet to the default gateway, which is determined by the subnet mask. The packet includes the destination IP address, and the network layer handles routing it through the appropriate paths until it reaches the destination.

Switches have three primary modes to handle frame switching Which one of these modes look at the destination address and then immediately forwards the frame to the destination?
The mode that looks at the destination address and immediately forwards the frame to the destination is called "cut-through switching." In this mode, the switch begins forwarding the frame as soon as it reads the destination MAC address, which reduces latency. However, it does not check the entire frame for errors before forwarding, which can lead to potential issues if the frame is corrupted.

In an IPv4 environment what information is used by the router to forward data packets from one interface of a router to another?
It uses the MAC address, Media Access Control. Every packet sent from a computer contains its MAC address. The router stores this in its routing table. When it receives a packet with a destiation address of that MAC address, then it forwards it to that computer. This is called NAT, Network Address Translation. It uses the Destination IP address
