Limiting the nu
mber of MAC and ARP list entry can avoid DOS attack to a certain extent. When
malicious users frequently do MAC or ARP cheating, it will be easy for them to fill the MAC and
ARP list entries of the switch, causing successful DOS attacks.
To sum up, it is very meaningful to develop the number limitation function of MAC and IP in
port, VLAN. Switch can control the number of MAC addresses of ports and the number ARP,
ND list entry of ports and VLAN through configuration commands.
Limiting the number of dynamic MAC and IP of ports:
1. Limiting the number of dynamic MAC. If the number of dynamically learnt MAC address by
the switch is already larger than or equal with the max number of dynamic MAC address, then
shutdown the MAC study function on this port, otherwise, the port can continue its study.
2. Limiting the number of dynamic IP. If the number of dynamically learnt ARP and ND by the
switch is already larger than or equal with the max. number of dynamic ARP and ND, then
shutdown the ARP and ND study function of this port, otherwise, the port can continue its
study.
Limiting the number of MAC, ARP and ND of interfaces:
1. Limiting the number of dynamic MAC. If the number of dynamically learnt MAC address by
the VLAN of the switch is already larger than or equal with the max. number of dynamic MAC
address, then shutdown the MAC study function of all the ports in this VLAN, otherwise, all the
ports in this VLAN can continue their study (except special ports).
2. Limiting the number of dynamic IP. If the number of dynamically learnt ARP and ND by the
switch is already larger than or equal with the max. number of dynamic ARP and ND, then the
VLAN will not study any new ARP or ND, otherwise, the study can be continued.
