A network engineer receives a call regarding multiple LAN-connected devices that are on the same switch.
The devices have suddenly been experiencing speed and latency issues while connecting to network resources.
The engineer enters the command show mac address-table and reviews the following output

Which of the following best describes the attack that is currently in progress?
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
This is an attempt to redirect traffic to an attacking host by sending an ARP packet that contains the forged address of the next hop router. The attacker tricks the victim into believing that it is the legitimate router by sending a spoofed ARP reply with its own MAC address. This causes the victim to send all its traffic to the attacker instead of the router. The attacker can then intercept, modify, or drop the packets as they please.
