the ARP packet equals the destination MAC address. This check applies only to ARP
responses, since the target MAC address is unspecified in ARP requests. You can also
enable IP address checking. When this option is enabled, DAI drops ARP packets with an
invalid IP address. The following IP addresses are considered invalid:
0.0.0.0
255.255.255.255
All IP multicast addresses
All class E addresses (240.0.0.0/4)
Loopback addresses (in the range 127.0.0.0/8)
The valid IP check is applied only on the sender IP address in ARP packets. In ARP
response packets, the check is applied only on the target IP address.
To configure the optional DAI features:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
