Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

DHCP snooping

DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) prevent DHCP spoofing and ARP poisoning respectively.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • Storm control

    Why it's wrong here

    Storm control mitigates broadcast/multicast traffic floods.

  • BPDU guard

    Why it's wrong here

    BPDU guard protects against spanning tree loops.

  • DHCP snooping

    Why this is correct

    DHCP snooping builds a binding database to prevent rogue DHCP servers and IP spoofing.

  • MACsec encryption

    Why it's wrong here

    MACsec secures link-layer encryption, not specific DHCP/ARP protocol attacks.

  • Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI)

    Why this is correct

    DAI uses the DHCP snooping database to validate ARP packets and prevent ARP poisoning.
