Q

What does the ‘restrict’ mode do in port security?

Q

True or False: PortFast can be enabled on inter-switch links.

A

False

PortFast should only be enabled on access ports.

20
Q

What is the purpose of the DHCP snooping binding table?

A

It binds the source MAC address to the IP address assigned by the DHCP server.

21
Q

What command is used to view the clients that have received DHCP information?

A

show ip dhcp snooping binding

22
Q

What should be configured as trusted interfaces for DHCP snooping and ARP inspection?

A

Uplink ports connected to other switches.

23
Q

What is the default mode for port security violations?

A

shutdown

24
Q

What command is used to limit the number of DHCP discovery messages on untrusted interfaces?

A

ip dhcp snooping limit rate packets-per-second

25
Q

What must be done if an unauthorized device is connected to a secure port?

A

Eliminate the security threat before re-enabling the port.

26
Q

What should be done to all switch ports before deployment for production use?

A

All switch ports should be secured.

This includes configuring port security and disabling unused ports.

27
Q

What is the default setting for Layer 2 switch ports?

A

Dynamic auto (trunking on).

This means they can automatically negotiate trunking.

28
Q

What is the simplest method to prevent MAC address table overflow attacks?

A

Enable port security.

This limits the number of valid MAC addresses allowed on a port.

29
Q

How can a switch learn about MAC addresses on a secure port?

A

In one of three ways:
* Manually configured
* Dynamically learned
* Dynamically learned – sticky

30
Q

What occurs when a port violation happens due to a differing MAC address?

A

The port enters the error-disabled state.

In this state, no traffic is sent or received on that port.

31
Q

How can VLAN hopping attacks be mitigated?

A

By:
* Disabling DTP negotiations
* Disabling unused ports
* Manually setting trunking
* Using a native VLAN other than VLAN 1

32
Q

What does DHCP snooping do?

A

It determines whether DHCP messages are from a trusted or untrusted source and filters them.

It also rate-limits DHCP traffic from untrusted sources.

33
Q

What is required for Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) to function?

A

DHCP snooping.

34
Q

What is the purpose of implementing Dynamic ARP Inspection?

A

To mitigate ARP spoofing and ARP poisoning.

35
Q

How can Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) manipulation attacks be mitigated?

A

By using PortFast and Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) Guard.

36
Q

What command is used to enable port security on an interface?

A

switchport port-security.

37
Q

What does the command ‘switchport port-security maximum’ do?

A

Sets the maximum number of MAC addresses allowed on a port.

38
Q

What are the two types of aging supported by port security?

A
  1. Absolute
  2. Inactivity
39
Q

What command is used to verify port security configurations?

A

show port-security interface and show port-security address.

40
Q

What is the default port security value for the maximum number of MAC addresses allowed on a port?

A

1.

41
Q

Fill in the blank: The command to manually configure a static MAC address on a secure port is ‘switchport port-security mac-address _______’.

A

[mac-address]

42
Q

True or False: Port security can be configured on dynamic access ports.

A

False.

Port security can only be configured on manually configured access or trunk ports.

43
Q

What happens if a port configured with port security has more than one device connected to it?

A

The port will transition to the error-disabled state.

44
Q

What command is used to disable an unused port on a switch?

A

shutdown.

45
Q

What command is used to reactivate a previously disabled port?

A

no shutdown.

46
Q

What is the command to set the aging type for secure MAC addresses?

A

switchport port-security aging.
