from one connected host to another. When hosts first send frames over
the switch, the switch doesn’t know which MAC address is associated
with which port. If an Ethernet frame is destined for an unknown MAC
address, the switch broadcasts the frame to all ports. The port learns
address, the switch broadcasts the frame to all ports. The switch learns
which MAC addresses are at which ports by observing the traffic. Once
it knows which MAC address is associated with a port, it can send
Ethernet frames to the correct port instead of broadcasting. The
