DIt will send the frame only to management port.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

An Ethernet switch will forward the frame to all ports when the destination address is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. This is because this address is the broadcast MAC address, which means that the frame is intended for all devices on the same LAN segment. The switch does not need to look up its MAC address table to find a matching entry for this address, but simply floods the frame out of all ports except the one where it received the frame. This way, the frame reaches every device on the LAN segment, regardless of their MAC addresses.Reference:Ethernet - Wireshark,Broadcast MAC Address - omnisecu.com
