Question

Enabling port security prevents which of the following?

A Using vendors other than Cisco for switching equipment as they don’t offer port security
B Spoofed MAC addresses from being used to cause a Denial of Service condition
C Legitimate MAC addresses from being used to cause a Denial of Service condition
D Network Access Control systems from functioning properly

Explanation

Port security limits which source MAC addresses may use a switch port and triggers a configured violation response when an unauthorized address appears. This prevents spoofed MAC addresses from being used to create a denial-of-service condition.
