Access Control Lists (ACL)
Access Control Lists
(ACL) enable network managers to define classification
actions and rules for specific ingress ports. Packets entering an ingress port
with an active ACL, are either admitted or denied entry and the ingress port is
disabled. If they are denied entry, the user can disable the port.
Dynamic ACL/Dynamic Policy Assignment (DACL/DPA)
The network administrator can specify the user's ACL in the RADIUS server.
After successful authentication, the user is assigned that ACL.
For more information, see "Network Security" on page 97.
DHCP Snooping
DHCP Snooping expands network security by providing firewall security
between untrusted interfaces and DHCP servers. By enabling DHCP
Snooping, network administrators can differentiate between trusted
interfaces connected to end-users or DHCP servers and untrusted interfaces
located beyond the network firewall.
For more information, see "DHCP Snooping" on page 574.
ARP Inspection
Dynamic ARP inspection is a security feature that validates ARP packets in a
network. It intercepts, logs, and discards ARP packets with invalid IP-to-MAC
address bindings. This capability protects the network from certain man-in-
the-middle attacks.

Port Profile (CLI Macro)

Macros provide a convenient way to save and share a common configuration.
A macro is a set of CLI commands with a unique name. When a macro is
applied to a port, the CLI commands contained within it are executed and
added to the Running Configuration file.
For more information, see "Dynamic ARP Inspection" on page 561.
