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: C

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.
