About Dynamic ARP Inspection
Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) is a security feature that validates Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
packets in a network. DAI allows a network administrator to intercept, log, and discard ARP packets with
invalid MAC-IP pairs. This capability protects the network from certain “man-in-the-middle” attacks.
