Figure 281 Host A sends an Ethernet frame to Host B on LAN 1

As the bridge receives the Ethernet frame on bridging interface 1, it determines that Host A is attached

to bridging interface 1 and creates a mapping between the MAC address of Host A and bridging

interface 1 in its bridge table, as shown in Figure 282.

Figure 282 The bridge determines that

Host A is attached to interface 1

When Host B responds to Host B, the bridge also hears the Ethernet frame from Host B. As the frame is

received on bridging interface 1, the bridge determines that Host B is also attached to bridging interface

1, and creates a mapping between the MAC address of Host B and bridging interface 1 in its bridge

table, as shown in Figure 283.
