Command History

Usage Guidelines

You must specify at least one of the keywords. Each command overrides the configuration of the
previous command; that is, if a command enables src-mac and dst-mac validations, and a second
command enables IP validation only, the src-mac and dst-mac validations are disabled as a result of the
second command.

src-mac

Compare the source MAC address in the Ethernet header against the sender MAC
address in the ARP body. This check is performed on both ARP requests and
responses.

When enabled, packets with different MAC addresses are classified as invalid and are
dropped.

dst-mac

Compare the destination MAC address in the Ethernet header against the target MAC
address in ARP body. This check is performed for ARP responses.

When enabled, packets with different MAC addresses are classified as invalid and are
dropped.

ip

Compare the ARP body for invalid and unexpected IP addresses. Addresses include
0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, and all IP multicast addresses.

Sender IP addresses are compared in all ARP requests and responses. Target IP
addresses are checked only in ARP responses.

allow-zeros

Modifies the IP validation test so that ARPs with a sender address of 0.0.0.0 (ARP
probes) are not denied.
