Will vlan switch forward a unicast frame on all ports associated with the destined vlan?

1.  The arp request will be send out as broadcast which will send out on all the ports in Vlan 1, to know the port where the PC-2 is connected. (Basically, switch will map the mac address with IP address of host that is connected) 
2. After arp is resolved, switch have the mac address table mapped with each IP address. 
3. Incoming frame from the PC-1 will be forwarded to only the port where PC-2 is connected. (After looking into mac address table)
