HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) — Question 106

A network administrator configures DHCP snooping on VLAN 2. How does the switch handle DHCP traffic that arrives in this VLAN on an untrusted interface?

Answer options

• A. It accepts packets from a DHCP server, but drops client packets.
• B. It drops all DHCP traffic and logs a security event.
• C. It accepts both client and server packets as long as they match the DHCP binding table.
• D. It accepts client packets, but drops packets from a DHCP server.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when DHCP snooping is enabled, the switch will allow DHCP responses from trusted servers but will block requests from clients on untrusted interfaces to prevent rogue DHCP servers. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe the behavior of the switch under DHCP snooping conditions.
