The function that forwards frames to ports that have a matching destination MAC address is D. frame switching. As per the search results, a switch has four functions: learning, flooding, filtering, and switching. Specifically, switching is the function that allows a switch to forward frames to the proper Layer 2 port based on the destination MAC address . This is achieved by using a MAC address table to keep track of which MAC addresses are connected to which switch ports, and then forwarding frames only to the appropriate port based on the destination MAC address .
Answer is D
Flooding means that the switch sends the incoming frame to all occupied and active ports (except for the one from which it was received
In forwarding , it first looks up the destination address in the MAC Address Table. It then forwards the frame to that specific port.
Frame filtering is a part of the overall frame switching process. Filtering involves determining where to send a frame based on its destination MAC address, while switching encompasses the entire process of receiving, filtering, and forwarding frames from one port to another.
So response B
B. frame filtering
Explanation:
Frame filtering refers to the process in which a switch examines the destination MAC address of an incoming frame and forwards it only to the port where the matching MAC address is located. This is how a switch ensures that frames are only sent to the intended recipient, reducing unnecessary traffic on the network.
I see some pick B. The reason I wouldn't pick that is because filtering drops packets, not forward. The function that forward frames is switching. If you want a function that filters/drops frames, go with filtering.
Please rethink about the answer: In the context of the provided question, the term "frame switching" refers to the general process by which network switches operate. While "frame switching" describes the overall process of how a switch handles and forwards frames, "frame filtering" specifically refers to the step where the switch determines the correct port to send the frame based on the destination MAC address.
Given the options, "frame filtering" (Option B) is the most accurate answer for the function that forwards frames to ports with a matching destination MAC address.
D. Frame switching
In a switched network, when a frame arrives at a switch, it examines the destination MAC address in the frame header. The switch then uses its MAC address table (also known as a content addressable memory or CAM table) to determine the appropriate port to forward the frame to, based on the matching destination MAC address. This process is referred to as frame switching.
D is correct
since its unicasting the known mac address
