Bypassing the ARP Inspection
You can configure a port to skip ARP inspection by defining the interface as trusted, which is useful in multi-
switch environments.
ARPs received on trusted ports bypass validation against the binding table. All ports are untrusted by default.
To bypass the ARP inspection, use the following command.
• Specify an interface as trusted so that ARPs are not validated against the binding table.

arp inspection-trust
Dynamic ARP inspection is supported on Layer 2 and Layer 3.
