Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 219

What is a characteristic of traffic storm control behavior?

Answer options

• A. Traffic storm control drops all broadcast and multicast traffic if the combined traffic exceeds the level within the interval.
• B. Traffic storm control cannot determine if the packet is unicast or broadcast.
• C. Traffic storm control monitors incoming traffic levels over a 10-second traffic storm control interval.
• D. Traffic storm control uses the Individual/Group bit in the packet source address to determine if the packet is unicast or broadcast.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, accurately describes that traffic storm control will drop all broadcast and multicast traffic when the total traffic surpasses a specific threshold within a set time frame. Option B is incorrect because traffic storm control can determine the nature of the packets. Options C and D, while related to traffic monitoring and classification, do not correctly define the behavior of traffic storm control in the context of traffic management.
