Defining Trusted Interfaces
The Trusted Interfaces Page allows network manager to define Trusted interfaces. Trusted interfaces are
connected to DHCP servers, switches, or hosts which do not require DHCP packet filtering. Trusted interfaces
receive packets only from within the network or the network firewall, and are allowed to respond to DHCP
requests. Packets sent from an interface outside the network, or from beyond the network firewall, are blocked by
trusted interfaces.
Conversely, untrusted interfaces can be configured to receive traffic from outside the network or the firewall.
To define trusted interfaces:
1.
Click DHCP Snooping > Trusted Interfaces. The Trusted Interfaces Page opens:
