(Select all that apply) Which of the following statements are true?

A
The packet capture will provide the MAC addresses of other machines connected to the switch.

Switches filter or flood traffic based on the address. Broadcast traffic, such as ARP requests and answers, is flooded to all ports. Unicast traffic, such asĀ traffic intended for the laptop itself or the default gateway, is sent only to the port on which the machine rests.
