MAC address tables in Cisco switches

A VMware server is attached to a Cisco switch. The VM has serveral VM guests and they have assigned the virtual MAC address by the server.

Under the MAC address table, will those virtual MAC addresses be displayed on that port.

Can a physical port be associated with different MAC addrese, or there is on one-to-one mapping ?

Thanks

If Switch 1 connect to Switch 2 and on Switch 1, it will shows all MAC addresses learned on Switch 2, not the MAC address port on Switch 2. Correct ?

Is there any screen dump to show how it actually look on a Cisco switch ?

Tks

To clarify my understanding, if Switch 1 connect to Switch 2 and on Switch 1, it will shows all MAC addresses learned on Switch 2 together with the physical port of switch 1.

Corrrect ?
