Abstract
A method may include receiving a data frame from a source host node that is connected to the source switch device, and modifying the data frame by replacing the source MAC address with a switch ID, a VLAN ID associated with a port of the source switch device, and a source IP address. The method may further include determining if there is a MAC address table in the source switch device. If the table is in the source switch device, the method may include including, in an entry of the MAC address table, the source IP address, the source MAC address, a port number indicating a port of the source switch device, and a VLAN ID associated with the port of the source switch device from which port the data frame is received. The method may further include forwarding or flooding the modified data frame to a switch device.
