Security Fundamentals

Which practice helps protect a network against VLAN hopping attacks?

  • A Enable dynamic ARP inspection
  • B Configure an ACL to prevent traffic from changing VLANs
  • C Change native VLAN to an unused VLAN ID
  • D Implement port security on internet-facing VLANs
Explanation

A common defense against VLAN hopping is to move the native VLAN to an unused VLAN ID so attacker-crafted tagged traffic cannot exploit the default native VLAN through double-tagging. This mitigation addresses the Layer 2 trunking behavior that VLAN hopping attacks target, whereas the other options address different threats or do not directly prevent VLAN hopping.
