In Rapid PVST+, which port state allows a switch port to send and receive data frames and actively learn MAC addresses?
Disabled
Forwarding
Blocking
Listening
In Rapid PVST+, a port in the forwarding state can both send and receive data frames and actively learn MAC addresses to populate its MAC address table. This allows normal network traffic to pass through the switch. Ports in the blocking state do not forward frames and only receive Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). Ports in the listening state do not learn MAC addresses or forward frames; they are preparing to transition to the forwarding state after ensuring no loops exist. Therefore, the forwarding state enables full communication and learning of MAC addresses.
