MAC Address Table Flooding

All MAC tables have a fixed size and consequently, a switch can run out of resources in which to store MAC addresses

MAC address flooding attacks take advantage of this limitation by bombarding the switch with fake source MAC addresses until the switch MAC address table is full

Note: Traffic is flooded only within the local LAN or VLAN. The threat actor can only capture traffic within the local LAN or VLAN to which the threat actor is connected.
