What action can a switch take when a port security violation occurs?

Automatically assign a new IP address to the unauthorized device

Forward the unauthorized frames to the default gateway for inspection

Shut down the port or drop frames from unauthorized MAC addresses

Convert the port to a trunk port to allow more traffic

What is the main advantage of store-and-forward switching compared to cut-through switching?

It requires less memory than cut-through switching

It forwards frames with lower latency than cut-through switching

It can detect and drop corrupted frames before forwarding them

It does not require a MAC address table

What is the primary function of a network switch when it receives a frame destined for a MAC address that is not yet in its MAC address table?

Drop the frame and send an error message back to the source

Store the frame indefinitely until the destination MAC address is learned

Flood the frame out of all ports except the port on which it was received

Forward the frame only to the default gateway

What is the primary purpose of implementing VLANs in a switched network?

To segment the network into multiple broadcast domains

To increase the speed of the physical links between switches

To replace the need for IP addressing on end devices

To provide redundancy in case a switch fails
