Network Fundamentals

What happens to frames during frame flooding?

  • A Frames are sent to all ports, including those that are assigned to other VLANs.
  • B Frames are sent to every port on the switch that has a matching entry in MAC address table.
  • C Frames are sent to every port on the switch in the same VLAN except from the originating port.
  • D Frames are sent to every port on the switch in the same VLAN.
Explanation

During frame flooding, a switch forwards the frame out all ports that belong to the same VLAN as the incoming frame, except the port on which the frame was received. This behavior is used when the switch does not have a destination MAC address entry for the frame and must deliver it across that broadcast domain.
