What is a possible impact of setting too short aging time in the MAC address table of a switch?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Unnecessary flooding of packets
💡 Explanation:
MAC address table entries expire after the aging time. If set too short, legitimate entries expire before devices finish communicating, causing the switch to flood frames to all ports because it no longer knows which port leads to the destination MAC address.
