5. Let us consider the operation of a learning switch in the context of a network in which 8 [ nodes labeled N1 through N8 are star connected into an Ethernet switch. Suppose that N N3 sends a frame to N1, (i) (ii) (iv) (v) (vi) NI replies with a frame to N3, N3 sends a frame to N5, N5 replies with a frame to N3. N6 sends a frame to N8 N8 replies with a frame to N6. The switch table is initially empty. Show the state of the switch table before and after each of these events. For each of these events, identify the link(s) on which the transmitted frame will be forwarded, and briefly justify your answers.
