What does a switch do when a frame is received on an interface and the destination hardware address is unknown or not in the filter table?
Options
A. Forwards the switch to the first available link
B. Drops the frame
C. Floods the network with the frame looking for the device
D. Sends back a message to the originating station asking for a name resolution
Correct Answer
Floods the network with the frame looking for the device
Explanation
Switches flood all frames that have an unknown destination address. If a device answers the frame, the switch will update the MAC address table to reflect the location of the device.

1. How many collision domains are created when you segment a network with a 12-port switch?
You need 5 subnets, each with at least 16 hosts. The mask 255.255.255.240 provides 16 subnets with 14 hosts-this will not work. The mask 255.255.255.224 provides 8 subnets, each with 30 hosts. This is the best answer.
5. Which command is required for connectivity in a Frame Relay network if Inverse ARP is not operational?
If you have a router in your Frame Relay network that does not support IARP, you must create Frame Relay maps on your router, which provide known DLCI-to-IP address mappings.
6. What VTP mode allows you to change VLAN information on the switch?
A CIDR address of /19 is 255.255.224.0. This is a Class B address, so that is only 3 subnet bits, but it provides 13 host bits, or 8 subnets, each with 8,190 hosts.
8. Which command will allow you to see real-time translations on your router?
Any secondary route to a remote network is considered a feasible successor, and those routes are only found in the topology table and used as backup routes in case of primary route failure. You can see the topology table with the
show ip eigrp topology command.
