switch requirement SYN-flood protection

Hi guys,

I had a customer requesting switches with "TCP-SYN flood protection" and "DoS protection". I argued that these are more of a firewall feature and no switch can do it, but he kind of insisted that his switches need that.

Now, am I missing something? I mostly work with Aruba switches and I know there are some features, like broadcast limits, DHCP/ARP-sniffing or things like that, but TCP-SYN flood and DoS protection are firewall features, right?
