Explanation
Correct Answers
The targeted correction for An untrusted port injects ARP replies claiming to be the default gateway and disrupts office sessions is: Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services. It reduces the risk that untrusted DHCP servers or forged ARP messages can redirect clients or disrupt campus communications.
A separate operational validation for An untrusted port injects ARP replies claiming to be the default gateway and disrupts office sessions is: A controlled rogue DHCP and ARP spoof test is rejected while legitimate authorized server and client traffic succeeds. It proves intended behavior instead of accepting configuration presence alone.

This alternative concerns dynamic segmentation roles and enforcement; its associated risk is: Role names without operational enforcement can leave different endpoint classes in an improperly shared security domain.

The targeted action is: Apply supported untrusted port controls for DHCP and ARP so rogue responses and spoofed bindings are rejected without breaking legitimate services.
This alternative concerns 802.1x port authentication and radius policy; its associated risk is: Failing open on authentication loss or applying an unreviewed fallback VLAN can grant excess access to unmanaged devices.
