To protect your network against rogue DHCP servers and remove malicious or malformed DHCP traffic, the DHCP snooping needs to be configured on LAN switches to block the unwanted traffic.
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server is a networking service that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network.
