Which one of the following correctly describes the operation of Cut-Through switching mode?
It is faster in forwarding frames because CRC errors are being checked
it forwards the frame as soon as it has read the destination MAC details in the packet header
it stores the frame and checks for CRC errors before forwarding to the destination
it is slower in forwarding frames compared to the Store-and-Forward mode
In Cut-Through switching mode, only the destination MAC address of the frame is stored and checked in the memory buffer (first six bytes) before being forwarded to the appropriate switch ports. It forwards the frame as soon as it has read the destination MAC details in the packet header. Cut-Through is the default switching mode for Cisco Switches.
