Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • VLAN Tagging

    Why it's wrong here

    VLAN tagging separates traffic but does not manage DHCP server authorization.

  • Dynamic ARP Inspection

    Why it's wrong here

    DAI prevents ARP poisoning, not rogue DHCP servers.

  • DHCP Snooping

    Why this is correct

    DHCP Snooping allows administrators to specify trusted ports that are authorized to provide DHCP responses.

  • Port Security

    Why it's wrong here

    Port Security limits the number of MAC addresses per port, not DHCP traffic.
