This table is populated automatically when a switch receives a frame on a port. As a frame is received on a port, its source MAC address is noted. The switch receives the frame from PC-1 that contains the MAC address 80::01 on port 1. Port 1 is configured as a member of VLAN-11. Then PC-1 wants to communicate with PC-2.
