I am studying CCNP at the moment and am a bit confused about an explanation of the MLS operation in one of my books and am hopeful that somebody could clear it up for me.
It says" The switch recieves an incoming frame and looks at the destination MAC address in the frame. The switch recognizes the dest MAC of the frame as the MAC of the Route Processor because it recieved it in a layer 3 Hello message and programmed it into the CAM table"
I don't understand why the destination MAC address of the frame would be the route processor, surely it would be the destination host wherever that is
If anyone knows a bit about MLS I would be very grateful
Thanks
Daniel,
