Chapter 24 Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection
Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection
For configuration guidelines for rate limiting trunk ports and EtherChannel ports, see the
“Dynamic ARP
Inspection Configuration Guidelines” section on page 24-6
.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to limit the rate of incoming ARP packets. This
procedure is optional.
To return to the default rate-limit configuration, use the
no ip arp inspection limit
interface
configuration command. To disable error recovery for dynamic ARP inspection, use the
no errdisable
recovery
cause
arp-inspection
global configuration command.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface
interface-id
Specify the interface to be rate-limited, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Step 3
ip arp inspection limit
{
rate
pps
[
burst
interval
seconds
] |
none
}
Limit the rate of incoming ARP requests and responses on the interface.
The default rate is 15 pps on untrusted interfaces and unlimited on
trusted interfaces. The burst interval is 1 second.
The keywords have these meanings:
•
For
rate
pps
, specify an upper limit for the number of incoming
packets processed per second. The range is 0 to 2048 pps.
•
(Optional) For
burst interval
seconds
, specify the consecutive
interval in seconds, over which the interface is monitored for a high
rate of ARP packets.The range is 1 to 15.
•
For
rate none
, specify no upper limit for the rate of incoming ARP
packets that can be processed.
Step 4
exit
Return to global configuration mode.
Step 5
errdisable recovery cause
arp-inspection interval
interval
(Optional) Enable error recovery from the dynamic ARP inspection
error-disable state.
By default, recovery is disabled, and the recovery interval is 300
seconds.
For
interval
interval
, specify the time in seconds to recover from the
error-disable state. The range is 30 to 86400.
Step 6
exit
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show ip arp inspection interfaces
show errdisable recovery
Verify your settings.
Step 8
copy running-config startup-config
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
