Peter,
On the networking side, in the Cisco world you can do a couple of
things to mitigate the risk of this type of attack.
Attack Mitigate
Spoofing the DHCP server DHCP Snooping and Port Security
Spoofing the default gateway Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI)
Spoofing an IP address IP Source Guard

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.
