Hi Everyone,
I am studying for CCENT and have a question: When a computer on a lan with multiple other hosts sends out an HTTP Get request over the internet (out past layer 3), does the requested frame come to the switch and get flooded to all hosts on the lan (accept the original port), or just the single computer that sent the HTTP Get request?
Thanks

Just the computer that sent it. Under normal operation the switch will at this point have the host's MAC in its table and be able to forward the frame only to the designated host.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made.
