Solved: One MAC address on multiple port in Switch

Can one MAC address be learned on multiple ports in same switch? if so, which port will be used to forward frames for that particular MAC address

It can be learned on multiple ports, but that is not a good thing! You'll see errors in the logs saying the MAC is flapping between ports A and B.

Thanks for the quick response Collin, I was just curious about this, and it is certainly very helpful for me.

Thanks again
