Hi everyone.

 

Please consider the following scenarios:

 

1) Let say Ex 4200 Switch operating as layer 2, receives unknown Unicast destination MAC,  will  EX switch use harware switching to forward it ?

2) Let say Ex 4200 Switch operating as layer 2, receives multicast frame  as a transit traffic i.e frame is not deemed " Exceptional traffic" ,   will Switch use harware switching to forward it or frame will be sent to CPU for forwarding?

 

Thanks, and have a nice weekend!!
