ARP source suppression
—If the attack packets have the same source address, you can enable the
ARP source suppression function, and set the maximum number of unresolvable IP packets that the
device can receive from a host within 5 seconds. If the threshold is reached, the device stops
resolving packets from the host until the 5 seconds elapse.
•
ARP blackhole routing
—You can enable the ARP blackhole routing function regardless of whether
the attack packets have the same source address. After receiving an unresolvable IP packet, the
device creates a blackhole route destined for that IP address and drops all the matching packets
until the blackhole route ages out.

Configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in
, a LAN contains two areas: an R&D area in VLAN 10 and an office area in VLAN
20. Each area connects to the gateway (Device) through an access switch.
A large number of ARP requests are detected in the office area and are considered as the consequence
of an unresolvable IP attack. To prevent such attacks, configure ARP source suppression and ARP
blackhole routing.
