Explanation of Solution

Given:

Given that there are 6 nodes named from “A” to “F”. They are all “star connected” in an Ethernet switch.

Solution:

ActionState of switch tableLink(s) that a frame is forwardedExplanation
The node B sends a frame to the node E.The switch table gets the interface parallel to MAC address of the node “B”.Nodes “A”, “C”, “D”, “E”, and “F”.At first, the switch table will be empty so it doesn’t know the interface that is corresponding to the MAC address of the node “E”.
The node E replies with a frame to the node B...

Let’s consider the operation of a learning switch in the context of a network in which 6 nodes labeled A through F are star connected into an Ethernet switch. Suppose that (i) B sends a frame to E, (ii) E replies with a frame to B, (iii) A sends a frame to B, (iv) B replies with a frame to A. The switch table is initially empty. Show the state of the switch table before and after each of these events. For each of these events, identify the link(s) on which the transmitted frame will be forwarded, and briefly justify your answers.

6.4-5. Self Learning Switches (b). Consider the network below with six nodes, star-connected into an Ethernet switch. Suppose that A sends a frame to A, A' replies to A, then B sends a message to B' and B' replies to B. Suppose you are node C, and consider the frames arriving to node C's interface (whether they are destined to C or not). From what senders do these frames arrive? OA 4 B č OC DC C' B' A 3 A' B C
