What does a switch do when a frame is received on an interface and the destination hardware address is unknown or not in the filter table?
A. Forwards the switch to the first available link
B. Drops the frame
C. Floods the network with the frame looking for the device
D. Sends back a message to the originating station asking for a name resolution
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Switches flood all frames that have an unknown destination address. If a device answers the frame, the switch will update the MAC address table to reflect the location of the device.This Question Belongs to Networking >> Spanning Tree Protocol
