Configuring Defense Against Bogus DHCP Server Attacks
Context
After DHCP snooping is enabled and a trusted interface is configured, the device enables DHCP clients to obtain IP addresses from the authorized DHCP server, to prevent bogus DHCP server attacks. However, the location of the bogus DHCP server cannot be detected, which brings security risks on the network.
After DHCP server detection is enabled, the DHCP snooping-enabled device checks information about the DHCP server, such as the IP address and port number, in the DHCP Reply messages and records the information to the log. The network administrator identifies whether bogus DHCP servers exist on the network based on logs.
