Question:
Greg knows that when a switch doesn't know where a node is, it will send out a broadcast to attempt to find it. If other switches inside its broadcast domain do not know about the node, they will also broadcast that query, and this can create a massive amount of traffic that can quickly amplify out of control. He wants to prevent this scenario without causing the network to be unable to function. What port-level security feature can he enable to prevent this?
A
Enable storm control.
explanation
By activating storm control on a switch, the overall bandwidth consumed by broadcast packets can be restricted, thereby averting broadcast storms that can disrupt the network. However, if Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is blocked, the communication between systems would be hindered, and blocking all broadcast packets would also result in the loss of several vital network functionalities.
