Configuring authorized ARP

Authorized ARP entries are generated based on the DHCP clients' address leases on the DHCP server or

dynamic client entries on the DHCP relay agent. For more information about DHCP server and DHCP
relay agent, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.
With authorized ARP enabled, an interface is disabled from learning dynamic ARP entries to prevent user

spoofing and allows only authorized clients to access network resources.
