Question:

The MAC address table is used by the Ethernet Switch to store information about the MAC addresses associated with each physical port. Since Switch can direct the packets to a specific user in the same LAN using the MAC address table, it provides some privacy. However, the use of the MAC address table results in a vulnerability as there is only limited memory available. In particular, attackers can flood switch with false MAC addresses which will overflow the table, making Switch to work as a HUB and breaking its privacy features. Therefore, in this activity, we will learn about the MAC address table. How do Switches learn MAC addresses of its connected devices? Using the source MAC address.
