Attack 3: DoS Using a Flood of Config BPDUs

Attack 3: DoS Using a Flood of Config BPDUs

Closely akin the antecedent attack, this advance continuously generates TCN BPDUs,

forcing the basis arch to accede them. What’s more, all bridges bottomward the timberline see

the TC-ACK bit set and appropriately acclimatize their forwarding table’s timers; this after-effects in a

wider appulse to the switched network. When the TC bit is set in BPDUs, switches adjust

their bridging table’s crumbling timer to forward_delay seconds. The aegis is the aforementioned as

before: BPDU-guard or filtering.
