Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 464 discussion

OMG !!! That is an ARP table ???? I think the guys who wrote this question didn't took CompTIA Network + . That is MAC ADDRESS TABLEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!!

They don't even bother to ask at this point

Refer to my previous comment!

Having multiple MAC addresses pointing to the same port is a sign of MAC address flooding attack. In a MAC flooding attack, the attacker floods the switch's MAC address table with fake MAC addresses, essentially trying to overwhelm the table and force the switch to enter a fail-open mode. In a fail-open mode, every packet will be forwarded to all the ports in the switch, the attacker can sniff all the packets being forwarded, capturing any sensitive information.

B. MAC flooding on Fa0/2 port I bet if you were to read the fine print, they most likely reserve the right to screw you, and here is a perfect example why they do not want you to pass on the first try...bad for business.

B. MAC flooding on Fa0/2 port The key is that Fa0/2 port had multiple MAC addresses.

B. MAC flooding on Fa0/2 port

B- MAC address is correct

Options A and D can not be since they don't work at the OSI Layer that the attack is happening (Layer 2). So we are left with B and C. Option B makes more sense since Mac Flooding is happening

The port that has the highest number of MAC addresses associated with it is likely the target of the MAC flooding attack. This is because the attacker is flooding the switch with a large number of spoofed MAC addresses to overload the MAC address table and cause a DoS.

-B is correct Based on the ARP table output, it appears that there are multiple MAC addresses associated with port Fa0/2, which suggests that MAC flooding may be occurring on this port. Therefore, the correct answer is B. MAC flooding on Fa0/2 port. ARP poisoning is a type of attack where the attacker sends fake ARP messages to associate their own MAC address with the IP address of another device on the network. However, there is no evidence of this type of attack in the ARP table output provided. DDoS and DNS poisoning attacks are not related to the information provided in the ARP table output, so options A and D are incorrect.
