   A switch receives a frame from Host A with source MAC 00:11:22:33:44:55 on port 1. The switch's MAC address table already has an entry for 00:11:22:33:44:55 pointing to port 2. What does the switch do?

   • AIt keeps the old entry and forwards the frame only to port 2.
   • BIt drops the frame to prevent a loop.
   • CIt sends an error message to the network administrator.
   • DIt updates the MAC address table entry to port 1 and forwards the frame normally.
