What is a characteristics of frame switching?

When a switch receives a frame destined for a MAC address not present in its MAC address table, it floods the frame out all ports in the same VLAN, excluding the port it was received on, to ensure delivery and learn the destination's location.

Switches do not inspect and drop frames from unknown destinations; instead, they flood them to facilitate learning the destination's MAC address and port association.

CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) is a Layer 2 protocol used for neighbor discovery and information exchange, not for forwarding data frames based on destination MAC addresses.

Basic frame switching itself does not inherently protect against denial-of-service attacks; dedicated security features like port security or access control lists would be required for such protection.
