Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 121

An administrator is configuring a DHCP server to better secure their environment. They need to be able to rate-limit the traffic and ensure that legitimate requests are not dropped. How would this be accomplished?

Answer options

• A. Set a trusted interface for the DHCP server.
• B. Set the DHCP snooping bit to 1.
• C. Enable ARP inspection for the required VLAN.
• D. Add entries in the DHCP snooping database.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Setting a trusted interface for the DHCP server is the correct approach because it allows the server to accept requests only from designated ports, thus preventing unauthorized access while managing traffic effectively. The other options, while related to DHCP security, do not specifically address the need to rate-limit traffic and verify legitimate requests.
