The only way the switch learns the MAC address is when the server sends something to the switch. It does not matter at all what we send to the server. But I am saying that the only way that the switch will learn the MAC address is when the server DOES send something. I am not saying that the server has to be the one that first initiates traffic. You seem to be starting from the point of how can we get the server to send something (respond to ARP) and then confusing how we ask the server to do something with what happens IF the server does respond. Press Command + : For forward switching between different windows of same application. Command + Note: The key is located just above the tab key in your keyboard. In fact the ONLY way the switch will ever learn the MAC address is for the server to send something. Here we will see another simple key shortcut that would help you switch between the different windows of same app. But flooding to unknown destination does not, by itself, help the switch learn the MAC address.Īnd you paint yourself further into a corner when you say:"the server that he's having problems with does NOT have to be the one to send traffic for the mac address to be learned". It may help with how we get the server to send something. Flooding to an unknown destination has nothing to do with how the switch learns MAC addresses.
