PAT (Port Address Translation) allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address when accessing the internet. It translates the private IP addresses to a single public IP with different port numbers for each session. The document states:
"PAT (Port Address Translation) allows multiple devices on a LAN to share a single public IP address by assigning unique port numbers to each session, enabling internet connectivity for all devices."

An evil twin attack sets up a rogue AP with the same SSID as a legitimate wireless network, tricking users into connecting. Once connected, the attacker can intercept traffic or harvest credentials.
B). Describes ARP spoofing.
C). Describes MAC spoofing.
D). Describes on-path attacks, which may follow, but the evil twin method begins with SSID impersonation.

Switches in sealed enclosures are at risk of overheating because airflow is restricted. The temperature factor is critical since heat buildup can damage components, shorten device lifespan, and cause outages. Proper cooling or ventilation must be ensured.
A). Fire suppression is important for data centers but not the primary concern in a sealed box.
B). Power budget applies to PoE allocations, not environmental safety.
D). Humidity matters, but overheating is far more immediate in sealed environments.

Broadcast traffic is sent to all nodes on the network. In a broadcast, a single packet is transmitted to all devices in the network segment. This is commonly used for tasks like ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) requests.
* Broadcast Domain: All devices within the same broadcast domain will receive broadcast traffic.
* Network Types: Ethernet networks commonly use broadcast traffic for certain functions, including network discovery and addressing.
* IPv4 Broadcast: An IPv4 broadcast address (e.g., 255.255.255.255) ensures the packet is sent to all devices on the network.

Broadcast traffic is essential for network operations that require communication with all nodes, such as ARP requests or DHCP discovery messages.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation (paraphrased, aligned to N10-009):
An evil twin is a malicious wireless access point that impersonates a legitimate SSID. Once victims connect, the attacker can intercept and manipulate traffic, performing an on-path (man-in-the-middle) attack- capturing credentials, injecting content, or downgrading encryption.
B). DDoS overwhelms services with traffic; it's not the typical follow-on from clients joining a rogue AP.
C). ARP spoofing is another way to become on-path on wired segments, but with an evil twin, the wireless association itself enables the on-path position.
D). Phishing is social engineering; while an evil twin could be used to present fake portals, the primary technical posture after connection is on-path.
