Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 588

An engineer notices traffic interruptions on the network. Upon further investigation, it is learned that broadcast packets have been flooding the network. What must be configured, based on a predefined threshold, to address this issue?

Answer options

• A. Storm Control
• B. embedded event monitoring
• C. access control lists
• D. Bridge Protocol Data Unit guard

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Storm Control is designed to prevent broadcast storms by limiting the amount of broadcast traffic allowed on a network interface, making it the correct choice. The other options, such as embedded event monitoring and access control lists, do not specifically address the issue of broadcast packet flooding, while Bridge Protocol Data Unit guard focuses on protecting the network from specific types of network loops rather than managing broadcast traffic.
