What is MAC address flooding
MAC address flooding is an attack where the attacker sends frames to the switch with random source MAC addresses and flooding the MAC-address table in the switch. The CAM - Content Addressable Memory - gets full, and frames from valid hosts are flooded out of all ports.
Protecting against MAC Address flooding
Is done on a port basis.
Example
Up to five MAC address are allowed on user ports.
Port shutdown
If you want the port to go in err-disabled if more than five MAC-addresses are seen on the port
Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet 0/1 - 24
Switch(config-if)switchport port-security maximum 5
Switch(config-if)switchport port-security violation shutdownAllow legal traffic and discard rest. No logging
If you want the port continue forwarding traffic from five MAC-addresses and discard remaining traffic and you don't want to log the attempt to use more than five MAC-addresses, use:
Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet 0/1 - 24
Switch(config-if)switchport port-security maximum 5
Switch(config-if)switchport port-security violation protectAllow legal traffic and discard rest. SNMP trap logging
If you want the port continue forwarding traffic from five MAC-addresses and discard remaining traffic and you want to log the attempt to use more than five MAC-addresses. SNMP traps are sent, use:
Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet 0/1 - 24
Switch(config-if)switchport port-security maximum 5
Switch(config-if)switchport port-security violation restrict
