Refer to the exhibit. Switch-1 needs to send data to a host with a MAC address of 00b0.d056.efa4. What will Switch-1 do with this data?
A. Switch-1 will drop the data because it does not have an entry for that MAC address.
B. Switch-1 will flood the data out all of its ports except the port from which the data originated.
C. Switch-1 will send an ARP request out all its ports except the port from which the data originated.
D. Switch-1 will forward the data to its default gateway.

A. Switch-1 will drop the data because it does not have an entry for that MAC address. B. Switch-1 will flood the data out all of its ports except the port from which the data originated. C. Switch-1 will send an ARP request out all its ports except the port from which the data originated. D. Switch-1 will forward the data to its default gateway.
Explanation: This question tests the operating principles of the Layer 2 switch. Check the MAC address table of Switch1 and find that the MAC address of the host does not exist in the table. Switch1 will flood the data out all of its ports except the port from which the data originated to determine which port the host is located in.
