Question:
Which method would mitigate a MAC address flooding attack?

  • increasing the size of the CAM table
  • configuring port security
  • using ACLs to filter broadcast traffic on the switch​
  • increasing the speed of switch ports

Explanation: Port security can be configured on switches to assist in preventing the MAC address table from being overwhelmed with invalid MAC addresses. ACLs will not assist a switch in filtering broadcast traffic, and increasing the size of the CAM table or the speed of switch ports will not resolve this issue.
