Place appropriate firewall or distributed policy enforcement around both internet-facing flows and lateral workload communications. This response applies to North south versus east west segmentation, not the controlling requirement in this case. Perimeter inspection focuses north-south traffic; internal segmentation contains east-west lateral movement when workloads share a network. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Separate groups with VLAN boundaries and apply identity or context-based SGT policy where infrastructure supports scalable group enforcement. Situation: A guest wireless device shares an access switch with finance laptops and must remain isolated.

Configure FTD site-to-site VPN using compatible peer parameters, network selectors, identities, and routing/access rules, then verify both tunnel phases. This response applies to FTD site-to-site VPN crypto policy, not the controlling requirement in this case. Successful VPN peer authentication does not prove application forwarding; selectors, route tables, NAT, and access policies also govern data traffic. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Separate groups with VLAN boundaries and apply identity or context-based SGT policy where infrastructure supports scalable group enforcement. Situation: A guest wireless device shares an access switch with finance laptops and must remain isolated.

Enable DHCP snooping on the supported switch VLANs and trust only intended DHCP-server-facing interfaces. This response applies to DHCP snooping trust and rogue server control, not the controlling requirement in this case. DHCP snooping distinguishes trusted DHCP infrastructure from untrusted access ports and creates bindings useful for other Layer 2 controls. For this scenario, the targeted action is: Separate groups with VLAN boundaries and apply identity or context-based SGT policy where infrastructure supports scalable group enforcement. Situation: A guest wireless device shares an access switch with finance laptops and must remain isolated.
