The correct answer is B. ip dhcp snooping vlan 1-4094 E. ip arp inspection vlan 1-4094. To protect against ARP spoofing, the access-layer switch must globally enable DHCP snooping to create trusted IP-MAC bindings and then enable Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) on all relevant VLANs to validate ARP packets.

Question

A network administrator is evaluating network security in the aftermath of an attempted ARP spoofing attack. If Port-channel1 is the uplink interface of the access-layer switch toward the distribution-layer switch, which two configurations must the administrator configure on the access- layer switch to provide adequate protection? (Choose two.)

Options

  • Aip dhcp snooping vlan 1-4094
  • Bip dhcp snooping vlan 1-4094
  • Cip dhcp snooping
  • Dip arp inspection trust
  • Eip arp inspection vlan 1-4094

Why each option

To protect against ARP spoofing, the access-layer switch must globally enable DHCP snooping to create trusted IP-MAC bindings and then enable Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) on all relevant VLANs to validate ARP packets.

Aip dhcp snooping vlan 1-4094

While `ip dhcp snooping vlan 1-4094` enables DHCP snooping on specific VLANs, the feature must first be enabled globally using the `ip dhcp snooping` command to be fully active and effective.

Bip dhcp snooping vlan 1-4094Correct

The `ip dhcp snooping` command globally enables the DHCP snooping feature on the switch, which is essential for building and maintaining a binding table of trusted IP-MAC addresses used by Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) to validate ARP packets.

Cip dhcp snooping

This choice is a duplicate of option B and while technically correct in its function, only two unique configurations are required for the solution.

Dip arp inspection trust

The `ip arp inspection trust` command configures a specific interface as trusted for DAI, which is crucial for uplinks but does not enable the core DAI functionality on client VLANs that directly protects against spoofing attempts.

Eip arp inspection vlan 1-4094Correct

The `ip arp inspection vlan 1-4094` command enables Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) across all VLANs, instructing the switch to validate incoming ARP packets against the DHCP snooping binding table, thereby directly mitigating ARP spoofing attacks.
