PC1 tries to send traffic to newly installed PC2. The PC2 MAC address is not listed in the MAC address table of the switch, so the switch sends the packet to all ports in the same VLAN. Which switching concept does this describe?
A. frame flooding
Explanation:
When a switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is not listed in its MAC address table, it doesn't know the port to which it should forward the frame. In this case, the switch will use a process known as frame flooding, where it sends the frame out to all ports in the same VLAN except the one it was received on. This is done to ensure that the frame reaches the destination device, and the destination device can respond, allowing the switch to learn the correct port for that MAC address.
Options B, C, and D are not directly related to the described scenario:
B. The MAC address table is involved in the learning process where the switch associates MAC addresses with specific ports.
C. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is used to prevent loops in Ethernet networks by blocking redundant paths.
D. MAC address aging is a process by which the switch removes inactive MAC addresses from its MAC address table after a certain period to keep the table up-to-date.
