Chapter 23 Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection
Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection
•
The operating rate for the port channel is cumulative across all the physical ports within the channel.
For example, if you configure the port channel with an ARP rate-limit of 400 pps, all the interfaces
combined on the channel receive an aggregate 400 pps. The rate of incoming ARP packets on
EtherChannel ports is equal to the sum of the incoming rate of packets from all the channel
members. Configure the rate limit for EtherChannel ports only after examining the rate of incoming
ARP packets on the channel-port members.
The rate of incoming packets on a physical port is checked against the port-channel configuration
rather than the physical-ports configuration. The rate-limit configuration on a port channel is
independent of the configuration on its physical ports.
If the EtherChannel receives more ARP packets than the configured rate, the channel (including all
physical ports) is placed in the error-disabled state.
•
Make sure to limit the rate of ARP packets on incoming trunk ports. Configure trunk ports with
higher rates to reflect their aggregation and to handle packets across multiple dynamic ARP
inspection-enabled VLANs. You also can use the
ip arp inspection limit
none
interface
configuration command to make the rate unlimited. A high rate-limit on one VLAN can cause a
denial-of-service attack to other VLANs when the software places the port in the error-disabled
state.
Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection in DHCP Environments
This procedure shows how to configure dynamic ARP inspection when two switches support this feature.
Host 1 is connected to Switch A, and Host 2 is connected to Switch B as shown in
Figure 23-2 on
page 23-3
. Both switches are running dynamic ARP inspection on VLAN 1 where the hosts are located.
A DHCP server is connected to Switch A. Both hosts acquire their IP addresses from the same DHCP
server. Therefore, Switch A has the bindings for Host 1 and Host 2, and Switch B has the binding for
Host 2.
Note
Dynamic ARP inspection depends on the entries in the DHCP snooping binding database to verify
IP-to-MAC address bindings in incoming ARP requests and ARP responses. Make sure to enable DHCP
snooping to permit ARP packets that have dynamically assigned IP addresses. For configuration
information, see
Chapter 22, “Configuring DHCP Features and IP Source Guard.”
For information on how to configure dynamic ARP inspection when only one switch supports the
feature, see the
“Configuring ARP ACLs for Non-DHCP Environments” section on page 23-8
.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure dynamic ARP inspection. You must
perform this procedure on both switches. This procedure is required.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
show cdp neighbors
Verify the connection between the switches.
Step 2
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 3
ip arp inspection
vlan
vlan-range
Enable dynamic ARP inspection on a per-VLAN basis. By
default, dynamic ARP inspection is disabled on all VLANs.
For
vlan-range
, specify a single VLAN identified by VLAN ID
number, a range of VLANs separated by a hyphen, or a series of
VLANs separated by a comma. The range is 1 to 4094.
Specify the same VLAN ID for both switches.
