2. Multicast Addresses

Multicast addresses represent a group of devices in a LAN. A frame sent to a multicast address will be forwarded to
group of devices on the LAN:
:
Multicast frames have a value of 1 in the least-significant bit of the first octet of the destination address. This helps a
network switch to distinguish between unicast and multicast addresses. One example of an Ethernet multicast addr
would be 01:00:0C:CC:CC:CC, which is the address used by CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol).

3. Broadcast Addresses

Broadcast addresses represent all devices on the LAN. Frames sent to a broadcast address will be delivered to all
devices on the LAN:

The broadcast address has the value of FFFF.FFFF.FFFF (all binary ones). The switch will flood broadcast frames o
of all ports except the port that it was received on.
