Try EtherFlood - http://ntsecurity.nu/toolbox/etherflood/
EtherFlood floods a switched network with Ethernet frames with random hardware addresses.
and
Macof from Dsniff - http://monkey.org/~dugsong/dsniff/
Dsniffs "macof" generates random MAC addresses exhausting the switch's memory.
It is capable of generating 155,000 MAC entries on a switch per minute.
Some switches than revert to acting like a hub.
