About DHCP Snooping

DHCP snooping is a DHCP security feature that provides security by filtering untrusted DHCP messages
and by building and maintaining a DHCP snooping binding table. An untrusted message is a message
that is received from outside the network or firewall and that can cause traffic attacks within your
network.
