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.
