CHAPTER 4
WEB OPERATION & CONFIGURATION
4.5.5.4 DHCP
DHCP Snooping allows the switch to protect a network from attacking by other devices or rogue DHCP servers. When
DHCP Snooping is enabled on the switch, it can filter IP traffic on insecure (untrusted) ports that the source addresses
cannot be identified by DHCP Snooping. The addresses assigned to connected clients on insecure ports can be
carefully controlled by either using the dynamic binding registered with DHCP Snooping or using the static binding
configured with IP Source Guard.
