Configuring Advanced Threat Protection
DHCP Snooping
• Attempts to exhaust system resources so that sufficient resources are
not available to transmit legitimate traffic, indicated by an unusually
high use of specific system resources
• Attempts to attack the switch’s CPU and introduce delay in system
response time to new network events
• Attempts by hackers to access the switch, indicated by an excessive
number of failed logins or port authentication failures
• Attempts to deny switch service by filling the forwarding table, indi-
cated by an increased number of learned MAC addresses or a high
number of MAC address moves from one port to another
• Attempts to exhaust available CPU resources, indicated by an
increased number of learned MAC address events being discarded

Overview
You can use DHCP snooping to help avoid the Denial of Service attacks that
result from unauthorized users adding a DHCP server to the network that then
provides invalid configuration data to other DHCP clients on the network.
