Question:
Which two features on a Cisco Catalyst switch can be used to mitigate DHCP starvation and DHCP spoofing attacks? (Choose two.)
- port security
- extended ACL
- DHCP snooping
- DHCP server failover
- strong password on DHCP servers
Explanation: In DHCP starvation attacks, an attacker floods the DHCP server with DHCP requests to use up all the available IP addresses that the DHCP server can issue. In DHCP spoofing attacks, an attacker configures a fake DHCP server on the network so that it provides clients with false DNS server addresses. The port security feature can limit the number of dynamically learned MAC addresses per port or allow only known valid NICs to be connected via their specific MAC addresses. The DHCP snooping feature can identify the legitimate DHCP servers and block fake DHCP servers from issuing IP address information. These two features can help fight against DHCP attacks.
