A network administrator notices unusual connectivity issues affecting random devices across the corporate LAN. Some endpoints are intermittently losing connection to network resources and then regaining it. Upon checking the switch logs, the administrator sees that certain hardware addresses are alternating between ports at irregular intervals. What might be the cause of this anomalous network behavior?
A broadcast storm is overwhelming the network with traffic.
A signal jammer is intermittently disrupting wireless communications.
Someone is cloning the identifiers of authorized devices, causing conflicts and intermittent connectivity.
DHCP exhaustion is leading to a shortage of IP addresses.
