David is a network administrator in his organization. He has connected one of the company’s servers directly to a Cisco switch through the Fa0/1 port. He wants to restrict access to other servers on this port. Which of the following should he do?
  1. Configure the port Fa0/1 to accept connections only from the static IP address of the server.
  2. Configure the MAC address of the server as a static entry associated with port Fa0/1 and to reject traffic with a source MAC address other than that of the server.
  3. Use a proprietary connector type on Fa0/1 that is not compatible with other server connectors.
  4. Bind the IP address of the server to its MAC address on the switch to prevent other servers from spoofing the server IP address.
Explanation
Answer: B - To be able to restrict other servers using the designated port, configure the MAC address of the server as a static entry associated with port Fa0/1 and reject traffic with a source MAC address other than that of the server.

Key Takeaway: Static entry is used to ensure that only a certain device, for example, a server, is plugged into a particular switch port. This is done by configuring the MAC address of the server as a static entry associated with the switch port. By doing this and specifying the MAC address of the server, he can block all incoming packets that do not have a source address specified.
