A Switch Receives A Frame Addressed To The Mac Address Ff

A switch receives a frame addressed to the MAC address FF: FF: FF: FF: FF: FF. What will the switch do with the frame?

• Except for the port where the MAC address is received all other ports are sent out.
• Along with any connected switches, the MAC address table entry is shared by the switches 
• The frames are not forwarded.
• The frames are sent toward the router because the MAC address is not local.

Answer: When the switch receives the frame which is addressed with the MAC address FF: FF: FF: FF: FF: FF then except the port where the MAC address is received all other ports are sent out.

The switch work is to connect the devices in the network and permit them to share the data frames. Switches are either hardware devices or virtual devices which are software-based. Switches give the wire-based connection, wireless access, IoT devices, and card system. The virtual machine in data centers, the servers, and most of the storage devices are connected through the switches. in telecommunication, it can carry broad traffic.

In the OSI model, the switch is operated on layer 2. According to the MAC address of the device, the switch decides where to send the frames which are coming in the LAN by using Ethernet. The switches manage the tables where the MAC address complements the incoming physical address. The working of the switches is described in the following:

• The traffic coming in the new or existing network, the switches work is to handle it. Computers and the access points are connected with the edge switches.
• The switches are located in the center layer, the edge switches connect with the distribution switches and the traffic is sent from the switch to the switch.
• The core switches make the computer backbone,it work by connecting the edge switches.
