HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) — Question 61

action. What does the switch do if it detects traffic from an unauthorized MAC address on the port?

Answer options

• A. It disables the port, but sends no SNMP trap.
• B. It forwards the traffic, and it logs an event.
• C. It blocks the traffic, but sends no SNMP trap.
• D. It blocks the traffic, and it sends an SNMP trap.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when a switch detects traffic from an unauthorized MAC address, it typically disables the port to prevent any potential security risks. The other options are incorrect as they either suggest that the traffic is allowed or that notifications are sent, which does not align with the standard behavior of security features in switches.
