DHCP snooping

DHCP snooping is a security feature that helps protect a network from unauthorized devices assigning IP addresses. It monitors DHCP traffic on a network switch, allowing only trusted devices to assign IPs. This prevents malicious or accidental IP address assignments by rogue devices, reducing risks like IP conflicts or network attacks. By controlling which devices can provide IP configuration, DHCP snooping helps ensure the network remains secure, stable, and functions correctly.
