ARP Inspection
– 312 –
ARP Inspection
ARP Inspection is a security feature that validates the MAC Address bindings for
Address Resolution Protocol packets. It provides protection against ARP traffic with
invalid MAC-to-IP address bindings, which forms the basis for certain “man-in-the-
middle” attacks. This is accomplished by intercepting all ARP requests and
responses and verifying each of these packets before the local ARP cache is
updated or the packet is forwarded to the appropriate destination. Invalid ARP
packets are dropped.
ARP Inspection determines the validity of an ARP packet based on valid IP-to-MAC
address bindings stored in a trusted database – the DHCP snooping binding
database (see “DHCP Snooping Global Configuration” on page 348). This database
is built by DHCP snooping if it is enabled on globally on the switch and on the
required VLANs. ARP Inspection can also validate ARP packets against user-
configured ARP access control lists (ACLs) for hosts with statically configured
addresses (see “Configuring an ARP ACL” on page 306).
Command Usage
Enabling & Disabling ARP Inspection
◆ ARP Inspection is controlled on a global and VLAN basis.
◆ By default, ARP Inspection is disabled both globally and on all VLANs.
■
If ARP Inspection is globally enabled, then it becomes active only on the
VLANs where it has been enabled.
■
When ARP Inspection is enabled globally, all ARP request and reply packets
on inspection-enabled VLANs are redirected to the CPU and their switching
behavior handled by the ARP Inspection engine.
■
If ARP Inspection is disabled globally, then it becomes inactive for all
VLANs, including those where inspection is enabled.
■
When ARP Inspection is disabled, all ARP request and reply packets will
bypass the ARP Inspection engine and their switching behavior will match
that of all other packets.
■
Disabling and then re-enabling global ARP Inspection will not affect the
ARP Inspection configuration of any VLANs.
■
When ARP Inspection is disabled globally, it is still possible to configure
ARP Inspection for individual VLANs. These configuration changes will only
become active after ARP Inspection is enabled globally again.
◆ The ARP Inspection engine in the current firmware version does not support
ARP Inspection on trunk ports.
