A customer is having a performance issue on the network and has received complaints about users experiencing intermittent connectivity. After performing a packet capture, it is determined that there is unwanted UDP port 68 traffic being broadcast.
To mitigate this issue, which ArubaOS-CX 6300M switch feature would be best to implement?
To address unwanted UDP port 68 traffic being broadcast, the best feature to implement on an ArubaOS-CX 6300M switch would be DHCPv4-snooping. This feature helps mitigate issues related to DHCP traffic, specifically UDP port 68, by allowing the switch to monitor DHCP messages exchanged between clients and servers. This monitoring helps in preventing malicious or accidental DHCP server replies from misconfigured or rogue devices, thereby improving network performance and reducing unwanted broadcast traffic.
