is a router and cheats the router that it is the victim. As can be seen in Figure 5 all traffic will be then sniffed

ACL
D-Link managed switches can effectively
mitigate common DoS attacks caused by
ARP spoofing via a unique Package Content
ACL.
For the reason that basic ACL can only filter
ARP packets based on packet type, VLAN
ID, Source, and Destination MAC
information, there is a need for further
inspections of ARP packets. To prevent ARP
spoofing attack, we will demonstrate here
via using Packet Content ACL on the Switch
to block the invalid ARP packets which
contain faked gateway’s MAC and IP
binding.
