It floods the frame out of every port except the source port.. If the destination MAC address is missing from the switch MAC address table, the switch treats the frame as an unknown unicast. It floods the frame out ports in the same VLAN except the port on which it arrived. It does not err-disable the port, drop the frame from the table, or create a broadcast storm as the default behavior. Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1 Network Access expects candidates to know that VLAN boundaries still apply during flooding. Because host A is in VLAN 2, the switch floods only within VLAN 2, not through unrelated VLANs. The corrected answer is that the switch floods the frame out every eligible port except the source port.
