(a) What is an STP attack? Cisco has two security features built into its layer 2 switches that can mitigate an STP attack. Please list and briefly explain these two security features. (3 Marks) (b) Configuring port security is one of the simplest yet effective methods of controlling who is on your network. Starting with a basic port security configuration, the following is configured on interface GigabitEthernet 0/19: Please identify what aspect of port security is enabled by configuring the switch with the following commands in CLI. (1.5+1.5) I. Switch2(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/19 Switch2(config-if)# switchport mode access Switch2(config-if)# switchport port-security II. Switch2(config)# interface gigabitethernet 0/21 Switch2(config-if)# switchport mode access Switch2(config-if)# switchport port-security Switch2(config-if)# switchport port-security maximum 3 Switch2(config-if)# switchport port-security violation protect (c) BPDU Guard protects what type of ports?
