In Cisco switches there is a nice feature "arp inspection". It can
prevent arp poisioning attacks.

Subject: Stopping Arp poison attacks
Hello there,
I am not a networking expert, but in my work as a pentester i often use
arp poison attacks to intercept interesting traffic.
If i recommend our customers to bind the MAC addresses of mission
critical servers' network interfaces to their respective ports on the
routers and switches, does that migitate most of the threat or am i
missing something important?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Peter.
