Just to clarify, it's the source address that goes into the FDB, right?

Wait, are you sure? I thought it was the SA that gets populated.

Totally agree with B, that's how it works!

It's definitely B, the DA gets added when frames come in.

I’m confused about the direction; I thought it was when frames leave the switch. I might go with option A, but I’m not confident.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like it was about the DA being populated. Could it be A or C?

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about the source address being added to the FDB. Maybe it’s option D?
SI

I think MAC learning happens when frames enter the switch, so I’m leaning towards option B.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Is it the source or destination MAC that gets learned? I feel like I should know this, but I'm drawing a blank. Maybe I'll just make an educated guess and move on.

I've got this! Ethernet switches use MAC address learning to build their FDB. The source MAC address of incoming frames is what gets added to the FDB, not the destination. So the correct answer is option D.

Okay, let me think this through. I know the FDB is used for forwarding decisions, but I'm not sure if the destination or source MAC address is what gets added to it. I'll have to carefully consider the options.

Hmm, this seems like a straightforward question about how Ethernet switches learn MAC addresses. I think the key is to remember that the switch populates its forwarding database (FDB) based on the source MAC addresses it sees in incoming frames.

I'm confident the answer is A. Netezza is designed for high-performance analytics, and GPFS is a scalable file system well-suited for that use case.
DA

Okay, I think I've got a handle on this. The key is to match up the responsibilities with the appropriate roles based on their typical duties.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I'd go with /proc since that's a virtual filesystem that doesn't need to be backed up.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The options seem to cover different aspects of project management, but I'm not sure which one best describes the full lifecycle. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This looks like a straightforward question on the Global Management Accounting Principles. I'll carefully read through the options and select the three that best match the principles.

Ugh, I always get these MAC learning questions mixed up. Is it SA or DA? Entering or leaving? I need to brush up on my Ethernet switch fundamentals.
TR

B, B, B! Of course, it's B. The switch learns the MAC addresses by looking at the destination addresses of the incoming frames. This is MAC learning 101!

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it's D. As frames enter the switch, the SA is populated into the FDB. That makes sense, right? Wait, what if I'm completely off base here?
LY

I thought it was C. As frames leave the switch, the SA is populated into the FDB. Wait, that doesn't sound right. Let me reread the question.
