Options

  • AEnable Dynamic ARP Inspection logging for dropped packets
  • BConfigure the ARP packet rate limiting feature
  • CApply ARP access control lists (ACLs) for Dynamic ARP Inspection filtering
  • DEnable Dynamic ARP Inspection error-disabled recovery

Explanation

Dynamic ARP Inspection works by validating ARP packets to prevent man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. To do that, it requires a way to determine which ARP messages are valid. There are two main sources of valid ARP bindings: 1. DHCP snooping binding database (recommended and dynamic) 2. ARP ACLs (manual and static) If DHCP snooping is not enabled or you're using static IPs, you must configure ARP ACLs to define legitimate IP-to-MAC mappings. These ACLs allow DAI to compare incoming ARP packets against known valid entries.
