A switch learns the MAC address of a device connected to port 5. Later, the same device is moved to port 12 and sends a frame. What will the switch do?

Drop all frames from this device

Continue to forward frames for this device only out of port 5

Update its MAC address table to associate the MAC address with port 12

Flood all frames from this device

A small office has two departments on separate floors. Each floor has its own switch, and all devices on a floor share the same IP subnet. The company wants users on floor 1 to be able to send files to users on floor 2. Which device must be added to enable this communication?

A router connected to both switches

A wireless access point on floor 2

A firewall placed between the two switches

A network has two subnets connected by a router. A user on subnet A sends a packet to a user on subnet B. The router receives the packet and forwards it to subnet B. What is the role of the router in this process?

It forwards the packet based on the destination IP address

It forwards the frame based on the destination MAC address

It broadcasts the packet to all devices on subnet B

It drops the packet because it is not the destination
