Which switching method uses the CRC value in a frame?
- cut-through
- fast-forward
- fragment-free
- store-and-forward
Answers Explanation & Hints: When the store-and-forward switching method is used, the switch receives the complete frame before forwarding it on to the destination. The cyclic redundancy check (CRC) part of the trailer is used to determine if the frame has been modified during transit. In contrast, a cut-through switch forwards the frame once the destination Layer 2 address is read. Two types of cut-through switching methods are fast-forward and fragment-free.
