Which Layer 2 attack will result in a switch flooding incoming frames to all ports?

  • MAC address overflow
  • Spanning Tree Protocol manipulation
  • IP address spoofing
  • ARP poisoning

Explanation: When an attacker rapidly sends frames with spoofed MAC addresses to a switch, the MAC address table of the switch becomes full. Once the MAC address table of the switch is full, the switch will flood all new incoming frames to all ports.
