SWR-4 Switch Interface Configuration (N10-008)
Questions and Answers


a list of Layer 2 MAC addresses and the ports used to reach each device ** Answ**
forwarding database


stores the relationship between the MAC addresses on the network and the switch port each one
is connected to ** Answ** Content Addressable Memory (CAM)


the switching operation uses three critical processes: ** Answ** learning, forwarding, and
filtering


when switches listen to network transmissions to catalog the MAC addresses on the network and
identify which switch address they are connected to ** Answ** learning


sending frame from one switch to all the others to figure out what the destination port is **
Answ** flooding


switch performs a lookup in the CAM table and sends a frame from A to B ** Answ**
forwarding


hubs are __________ devices, so they can't perform switching operating like learning or
forwarding - they just repeat electrical signals to all ports ** Answ** layer 1


all of the MAC addresses of the hosts connected to the hub ** Answ** will be associated
with the same switch port


on a switch, forwarding only occurs if the source and destination MAC addresses are **
Answ** associated with different ports on the switch
