Borderless Security
The Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches provide superior Layer 2 threat defense capabilities for
mitigating man-in-the-middle attacks (such as MAC, IP, and ARP spoofing). TrustSec, a primary element of
Borderless Security Architecture, helps enterprise customers secure their networks, data and resources with policy-
based access control, identity and role-aware networking, pervasive integrity, and confidentiality. The borderless
security is enabled by the following feature sets in the Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 2960 Series Switches:

Threat Defense
Cisco Integrated Security Features is an industry-leading solution available on Cisco Catalyst Switches that
proactively protects your critical network infrastructure. Delivering powerful, easy-to-use tools to effectively prevent
the most common and potentially damaging Layer 2 security threats, Cisco Integrated Security Features provides
robust security throughout the network. Cisco Integrated Security Features include Port Security, DHCP Snooping,
Dynamic ARP Inspection, and IP Source guard.
Port Security secures the access to an access or trunk port based on MAC address. It limits the number of
learned MAC addresses to deny MAC address flooding.
DHCP Snooping prevents malicious users from spoofing a DHCP server and sending out bogus addresses.
This feature is used by other primary security features to prevent a number of other attacks such as ARP
poisoning.
Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) helps ensure user integrity by preventing malicious users from exploiting the
insecure nature of the ARP protocol.
