Correct answer: In the DHCP binding database.
Why this is the answer
A switch stores DHCP snooping entries in the DHCP binding database. This database is specifically designed to hold information about trusted DHCP servers, valid IP-to-MAC address bindings, lease times, and the VLAN and interface where the client is connected. This allows the switch to validate DHCP messages and prevent unauthorized DHCP servers or clients from interfering with network operations. The CAM table (Content Addressable Memory) and MAC address table are synonyms for the same table, which stores MAC-to-port mappings for frame forwarding, not DHCP binding information. The frame forwarding database is another term for the MAC address table.
