Which countermeasures can mitigate ARP spoofing attacks?

Which countermeasures can mitigate ARP spoofing attacks? (Choose two.)

A.
Port security

B.
DHCP snooping

C.
IP source guard

D.
Dynamic ARP inspection

Explanation:
BD
+ ARP spoofing attacks and ARP cache poisoning can occur because ARP allows a gratuitous reply from a
host even if an ARP request was not received.
+ DAI is a security feature that validates ARP packets in a network. DAI intercepts, logs, and discards ARP
packets with invalid IP-to-MAC address bindings. This capability protects the network from some man-in-themiddle attacks.
+ DAI determines the validity of an ARP packet based on valid IP-to-MAC address bindings stored in a trusted
database, the DHCP snooping binding database.
