    This information comes from the learning process of Ethernet Switch. 3.2 Learning When one packet comes in from any port, The Switch will record the source address, port no. And the other related information in address table. This information will be used to decide either forwarding or filtering for future packets.
  • Page 14: Auto-Negotiation

    The Ethernet Switch scans the destination address from the packet- header, searches the routing table provided for the incoming port and forwards the packet, only if required. The fast forwarding makes the Switch attractive for connecting servers directly to the network, thereby increasing throughput and availability.
