DHCP snooping is a feature on switches that labels ports as trusted or untrusted and prevents DHCP messages from entering the switch on untrusted ports, except for the port connected to the DHCP server, which is configured as trusted. This helps prevent rogue DHCP servers from being attached to the network by blocking DHCP offers from unknown sources. The document then provides configuration examples for setting up a DHCP server on a trusted port and defining the DHCP pool details.

Why DHCP snooping?
DHCP snooping is enabled on the VLAN level on a switch.
DHCP snooping is a feature that exists on a switch.
It creates two types of ports: trusted and untrusted. When DHCP
snooping is enabled on a switch, all ports are labeled as untrusted, and this prevents any DHCP Offer and DHCP ACK messages from entering the switch. However, the port that is connected to the DHCP server should be configured manually as a trusted port. The trusted port allows the DHCP Offer and DHCP ACK messages to enter the switch.
The DHCP snooping feature is a countermeasure against any rogue DHCP
server that may be attached to the network infrastructure.
