What can cause ARP table exhaustion on enterprise switches?

Example Concept: ARP table exhaustion happens when a switch's ARP cache reaches its maximum capacity, preventing it from storing new ARP entries. This can be triggered by a flood of ARP requests, often due to network loops, misconfigured devices, or malicious attacks. As the ARP table fills up, legitimate ARP requests may be dropped, leading to connectivity issues and increased latency as devices repeatedly attempt to resolve IP addresses to MAC addresses without success.
