It's important to note that Cisco has added a lot of security-type
features to the switches recently. VACLS, port security, control plane
rate limiting, etc can all be used to mitigate malicious activity like
mac address flooding, rogue DHCP servers, etc. The 3560 is chock-full
of goodies!

And that would be another method. But VLAN hopping and auto-trunking
aren't
a switch vulnerability in my opinion. They are an administrative or
design
vulnerability.

If you continually leave your front door unlocked and standing open,
whose
fault is it when you get robbed? The door is inherently designed to
allow
access.
