Switching — CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) Practice Questions
Switching refers to the process by which a network switch forwards Ethernet frames based on destination MAC addresses learned through its MAC address table. The N10-009 exam covers how switches build and age their MAC tables, how flooding occurs for unknown unicast destinations, and how spanning tree protocols such as STP and RSTP prevent loops in redundant topologies. Candidates should also understand the differences between managed and unmanaged switches, port security features, and how switching contrasts with routing at the network layer.
