  • The switch will flood the frame out all ports except port Fa0/8.
  • The switch will add the address 0800.069d.3841 to the MAC address table.
  • The switch will send the frame to port Fa0/6.
  • The switch will add the address 6400.6151.6821 to the MAC address table.
  • The switch will send the frame to ports Fa0/4 and Fa0/6.
Explanation and Hint:

A switches performs two functions when it receives a frame:

The switch examines the source MAC address and adds it to the MAC address table if it is not already in the table.
The switch examines the destination MAC address. If the MAC address is in the MAC address table, the frame is sent to the appropriate port. If the MAC address is not in the MAC address table, the frame is sent to all ports that have devices attached except the port the frame came in on.
