What is DHCP Snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection?

Imagine a scenario where an attacker launches a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack on your network's Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) infrastructure. At the same time, they poison the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entries in your gateway switch, causing significant damage to your entire network. This type of attack could potentially disrupt your network's connectivity, leading to serious consequences such as data loss, service downtime, or even financial losses  🤔

I just dropped a new video on my YouTube Channel, and in this video, you will learn about the effective use of DHCP Snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection to safeguard your network against DDoS and Man-in-the-Middle (MITM)attacks. The video will guide you through the process of setting up and configuring these security measures, helping you to ensure the safety and reliability of your network infrastructure  😎

This video is part of my popular Tech Nuggets series. The goal of tech nuggets is to cut to the chase & explain tech concepts in the form of small nuggets that you can consume right before walking into a customer meeting or a job interview  🧳
