A C • The switch hears the message on port 2,
1 3 so it knows that station B is connected
00-20-33-A5-3B 00-20-1F-47-13 to switch port 2.
4 • The switch enters it into the table.
• The switch looks up the destination MAC
address in the table and finds that
D station A is connected to port 1.
• So, the switch forwards the message to
00-20-D8-4E-FF
only port 1.

00-20-33-A5-3B 00-20-1F-47-13 and station D responds.
4 • The switch hears station C on port 3 and
station D on port 4 so it adds that
information to the learning table.
D • In just a few steps, the switch has
00-20-D8-4E-FF
learned the layout of the entire network

• Simultaneous conversations are now
possible.
D • Any pair of stations can now talk directly
without interfering with other
00-20-D8-4E-FF
