Configuring Rate Limiting on a Per-Port Basis
You can rate limit the number of ARP traffic-inspection packets that are sent to the supervisor engine
CPU on a per-port basis. If the rate exceeds the
drop-threshold
, the excess packets are dropped (and
counted toward the
shutdown-threshold
limit). If the rate exceeds the
shutdown-threshold
, the port
that is specified by
mod/port
is shut down. By default, both threshold values are 0 (no per-port rate
limiting is applied). The maximum value for both thresholds is 1000 packets-per second (pps).
To rate limit the number of ARP traffic-inspection packets that are sent to the CPU per port, perform this
task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to rate limit the number of ARP traffic-inspection packets that are sent to the
CPU on a per-port basis. The drop-threshold is set to 700, and the shutdown threshold is set to 800 for
port 3/1:
Console> (enable)
set port arp-inspection 3/1 drop-threshold 700 shutdown-threshold 800
Drop Threshold=700, Shutdown Threshold=800 set on port 3/1.

Configuring the errdisable-timeout Option for ARP Traffic Inspection
You configure the errdisable-timeout option for ARP traffic inspection by using the
set
errdisable-timeout
{
enable
|
disable
}
arp-inspection
command. For detailed information on the
errdisable-timeout option, see the
“Configuring a Timeout Period for Ports in errdisable State” section
on page 4-12
.
