Security Fundamentals

What is a practice that helps protect a network from VLAN hopping attacks?

  • A Implement port security on internet-facing VLANs
  • B Enable dynamic ARP inspection
  • C Assign all access ports to VLANs other than the native VLAN
  • D Configure an ACL to prevent traffic from changing VLANs
Explanation

A key defense against VLAN hopping is to ensure user access ports are not placed in the native VLAN. Double-tagging attacks rely on the native VLAN treatment of untagged traffic, so assigning access ports to VLANs other than the native VLAN reduces that attack path. This aligns with standard switch-hardening guidance for preventing VLAN hopping, along with disabling trunk negotiation and statically configuring access ports.
