How does MAC learning operate?

  • A enabled by default on all VLANs and interfaces
  • B increases security on the management VLAN
  • C sends frames with unknown destinations to a multicast group
  • D inspects and drops frames from unknown destinations
Explanation

MAC learning is the default Layer 2 switch behavior in which the switch learns source MAC addresses from received frames and stores them in its forwarding table. Frames with unknown destination MAC addresses are normally flooded within the VLAN rather than dropped or sent to a multicast group, so the only correct statement is that MAC learning is enabled by default on switch interfaces/VLAN switching contexts.
