ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your private IaaS cloud hosts several VMware ESXi clusters. Each hypervisor is attached to a pair of Cisco access switches that provide VLAN trunking toward the data-center core, where the organization's only authorized DHCP servers reside. After onboarding a new customer, multiple tenants report that their VMs suddenly receive the wrong IP address and default-gateway information, breaking north-south connectivity. A span capture on one ESXi host's access port shows unsolicited DHCP OFFER frames with a source MAC address belonging to the new tenant's virtual machine.

You need to stop any rogue DHCP server messages from leaving tenant-facing switch ports while still permitting DHCP DISCOVER and REQUEST messages from clients to reach the legitimate upstream servers. Which Cisco switch feature should you configure on the access switches?

  • Configure broadcast storm control on all tenant access ports.

  • Enable DHCP snooping on the access switches and mark the uplink ports as trusted.

  • Enable BPDU Guard on every tenant access port.

  • Set up a port-mirroring session toward an intrusion-detection appliance.
