1. A 6-node network is connected into an Ethernet switch implementing a star topology. Nodes are labeled A through F, and their MAC addresses are identified as M-A, M-B, and so on. Suppose that the following frames are sent:
   1. A sends a frame to E
   2. E replies with a frame to A
   3. C sends a frame to F
   4. F replies with a frame to C
   5. B sends a frame to D

The Ethernet switch table is initially empty. Show the state of the switchs forwarding table after each of these events. For each of these events, identify the link(s) on which the transmitted frame will be forwarded, and justify your answers. Use the following table to provide your answers. (10 points)

Action	Switch Table State (What happens?)	Link(s) packet is forwarded to	Explain forwarding action
A sends a frame to E
E replies with a frame to A
C sends a frame to F
F replies with a frame to C
B sends a frame to D
