Ericsson Exam ECP-206 Topic 1 Question 33 Discussion

Actual exam question for Ericsson's ECP-206 exam
Question #: 33
Topic #: 1
[All ECP-206 Questions]

In a company network, a host sends an Ethernet frame destined to the address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

What will an Ethernet switch do with this frame?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

An Ethernet switch will forward the frame to all ports when the destination address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. This is because this address is the broadcast MAC address, which means that the frame is intended for all devices on the same LAN segment. The switch does not need to look up its MAC address table to find a matching entry for this address, but simply floods the frame out of all ports except the one where it received the frame. This way, the frame reaches every device on the LAN segment, regardless of their MAC addresses.Reference:Ethernet - Wireshark,Broadcast MAC Address - omnisecu.com

This question is a piece of cake! Forwarding to all ports is the only logical choice, unless you want to end up in the networking hall of shame.

Wait, is this a trick question? Do Ethernet switches even have a 'management port'?

Hmm, I was thinking it would drop the frame. Guess I need to brush up on my Ethernet knowledge.

I believe the Ethernet switch will drop the frame, as it is a broadcast address and should not be forwarded to all ports.

I agree with Lyla, because the address FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF is the broadcast address.
