A port in the learning state prepares to participate in frame forwarding. The port enters the learning
state from the listening state.
A port in the learning state does the following:
• Discards frames received from the network segment to which it is attached.
• Discards packets sent from another port on the switch for forwarding.
• Adds addresses to its forwarding database.
• Receives BPDUs and directs them to the CPU.
• Processes and transmits BPDUs received from the CPU.
