What does a switch do if a MAC address cannot be found in the CAM table?

The frame is forwarded to the default port.

The switch generates an ARP request for the address.

The switch floods the frame out all ports (except the receiving port).

The switch drops the frame.

In a switch, frames are placed in which buffer after forwarding decisions are made?

Ingress queues

Egress queues

TCAM

CAM table

Which of these is not a standard type of gigabit interface converter (GBIC) or small form factor pluggable (SFP) module?

Which answer describes multilayer switching with CEF?

The switching hardware learns station addresses and builds a routing database.

A single database of routing information is built for the switching hardware.
