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.
