6.4 Configuring ARP Anti-attack
The ARP anti-attack function defends against attacks from bogus hosts and gateways and man-
in-the-middle attacks.
6.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring defense against ARP attacks, familiarize yourself with the applicable
environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the
configuration. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
Applicable Environment
On an enterprise network, ARP entries are easily attacked; therefore, you can configure the
following ARP anti-attack functions at the access layer to ensure network security:
l
To prevent attackers from forging ARP packets of authorized users and modifying the ARP
entries on the gateway, configure the ARP address anti-spoofing function.
l
To prevent attackers from sending gratuitous ARP packets with the source IP addresses as
the forged gateway address on a LAN, configure the ARP gateway anti-collision function
and configure the AR1200-S to send gratuitous ARP packets.
l
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing external networks by sending ARP packets
to the AR1200-S, configure the ARP packet checking function.
Prerequisites
Before configuring defense against ARP attacks, complete the following task:
l
Setting link layer protocol parameters and assigning IP addresses to interfaces to ensure
that the status of the link layer protocol of the interfaces is Up
Data Preparation
To configure defense against ARP attacks, you need the following data.
