What a switch will do if it receives a frame on an interface with the destination address that is on the same interface?

Hey siyadheen,

The switch will do nothing. A switch does not forward frames out an interface from which it received the frame. Becasue the address is on that same interface it means that device is also in the same collision domain and will have received the frame as well.

If a switch receives a frame on an interface with the destination address that is on the same interface, it will drop the frame.
