Switch-1 in the exhibit receives a packet from User A with a destination MAC address of 00:26:88:02:74:47. Which statement is correct in this scenario?

The correct answer is C. Switch-1 floods the packet out ge-0/0/7, ge-0/0/8, and ge-0/0/9. To forward a frame destined to that specific mac -address, it will know out of which port to send the frame. Flooding however occurs when the switch does not know of the destination mac - address ?say the switch has not learnt that mac address yet; or maybe that specific entry…

Explanation

To forward a frame destined to that specific mac -address, it will know out of which port to send the frame. Flooding however occurs when the switch does not know of the destination mac - address ?say the switch has not learnt that mac address yet; or maybe that specific entry expired so it got flushed away from the mac-address table. To ensure the frame reaches its intended destination, the switch will replicate that frame out of all ports, less the port where the frame was received that's flooding.
