CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 202

What occurs to frames during the process of frame flooding?

Answer options

• A. Frames are sent to all ports, including those that are assigned to other VLANs.
• B. Frames are sent to every port on the switch that has a matching entry in MAC address table.
• C. Frames are sent to every port on the switch in the same VLAN except from the originating port.
• D. Frames are sent to every port on the switch in the same VLAN.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because during frame flooding, the switch sends frames to all ports in the same VLAN except for the one where the frame originated. Options A and B are incorrect as they describe scenarios that are not applicable to frame flooding, and option D does not exclude the originating port, which is a key aspect of the flooding process.
