What is the MOST effective method to counteract an attack that involves falsifying the link between IP addresses and MAC addresses on a network?
Clear the mapping table at regular short intervals.
Implement static entries for all critical devices.
Use antivirus programs on all network devices.
Implementing static entries for all critical devices directly prevents the manipulation of IP-to-MAC address mappings, effectively thwarting attempts to mislead the network about the actual hardware destination of data packets. This method is specifically targeted at stopping the type of attack mentioned, as it does not allow for dynamic changes to the linkage without administrative intervention. Options like using antivirus programs or clearing the mapping table frequently address broader security measures or the effects of security breaches but do not prevent the actual mapping manipulation from occurring initially.
