Like routers, both Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches have their own set of network security requirements. Access to switches is a convenient entry point for attackers who are intent on illegally gaining access to a corporate network. With access to a switch, an attacker can set up rogue access points and protocol analyzers, and launch all types of attacks from within the network. Attackers can even spoof the MAC and IP addresses of critical servers and do significant damage. This course introduces basic switching concepts, explains security threats that exploit vulnerabilities in the switching infrastructure, and examines strategies to mitigate those threats.
