Chapter 50 Configuring Auto Security
Configuring Auto Security
DHCP Snooping
Auto Security (AS) enables DHCP Snooping globally (with the ip dhcp snooping command) and also
on VLANs 2-1005 (with the ip dhcp snooping vlan vlanid command).
AS configures trunk or DHCP server-facing port(s) as trusted (with the ip dhcp-snooping trust
command).
Dynamic ARP Inspection
AS enables this feature globally on all VLANs present on the switch (with the ip arp inspection vlan
vlanid) command.
AS configures the trunk port as trusted (with the ip arp inspection trust command).
Port Security
AS enables this feature on all the switch’s access ports (with the switchport port-security command).]
