In this problem, you will be learning about self-learning Ethernet switches. First read the attached supplement on Ethernet switches and how they can self-learn. Now, consider the operation of a learning switch in the context of a network in which nodes labeled A through F are star connected into an Ethernet switch (see figure below). The switch table is initially empty. Now consider the following sequence of events: 1. B sends a frame to E, 2. E replies with a frame to B, 3. A sends a frame to B, 4. B replies with a frame to A. Host A Interface B 1 2 C 3 Switch 4 D 5 6 E F LL a. (2 points) Show the state of the switch table after each of the four events. The forwarding table has two columns: "host" and "interface". Activ b. (2 points) For each of these events, identify the link(s) on which the transmitted frame will be forwarded. Go to In this problem, you will be learning about self-learning Ethernet switches.
