Command Usage
◆
ARP Inspection must be enabled with the ip arp inspection command before
this command will be accepted by the switch.
◆
By default, logging is active for ARP Inspection, and cannot be disabled.
◆
When the switch drops a packet, it places an entry in the log buffer. Each entry
contains flow information, such as the receiving VLAN, the port number, the
source and destination IP addresses, and the source and destination MAC
addresses.
◆
If multiple, identical invalid ARP packets are received consecutively on the
same VLAN, then the logging facility will only generate one entry in the log
buffer and one corresponding system message.
◆
The maximum number of entries that can be stored in the log buffer is
determined by the
message-number parameter. If the log buffer fills up before a
message is sent, the oldest entry will be replaced with the newest one.
◆
The switch generates a system message on a rate-controlled basis determined
by the
seconds values. After the system message is generated, all entries are
cleared from the log buffer.
Example
Console(config)#ip arp inspection log-buffer logs 1 interval 10
Console(config)#
