access port on switch

by rajshekar455 . Updated 13 years, 3 months ago

Topology
========

Host1 —-> (1/0) CiscoSW1 (1/1) ——> Host2
(eth1) Vlan4 Vlan4 (eth1)
AccessPort AccessPort

CiscoSW1 :
————–
Port 1/0 and 1/1 configured as access ports with vlan 4

“””did not mention in the diagram but there are 10 different hosts (HOST3 to HOST 12) which are in different vlans(20-29) are connected to switch.””””

All these ports are access ports on switch.

HOST1 and HOST2 :
————————-
Host1(eth1) : ip address 10.2.3.4/24 (vlan unaware port)
Host2(eth1) : ip address 10.2.3.5/24 (vlan unaware port)

Below is my doubt :
================

1. Host1 is sending untagged packet to Host2 via CiscoSwitch(Access Port) .
2. Siwtch does not find the Destination Mac address entry in “MAC TABLE” so
it has to broadcast.
3. My doubt is , broadcast packet goes only to HOST2 or it goes to all HOSTS
connected to switch.
Can anyone explain me briefly.
