Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection
Logging of Dropped Packets
When the switch drops a packet, it places an entry in the log buffer and then generates system messages
on a rate-controlled basis. After the message is generated, the switch clears the entry from the log buffer.
Each log entry contains flow information, such as the receiving VLAN, the port number, the source and
destination IP addresses, and the source and destination MAC addresses.
You use the ip arp inspection log-buffer global configuration command to configure the number of
entries in the buffer and the number of entries needed in the specified interval to generate system
messages. You specify the type of packets that are logged by using the ip arp inspection vlan logging
global configuration command. For configuration information, see the
“Configuring the Log Buffer”
section on page 23-12 .

Default Dynamic ARP Inspection Configuration
Table 23-1 shows the default dynamic ARP inspection configuration.
Table 23-1 Default Dynamic ARP Inspection Configuration
Feature Default Setting
Dynamic ARP inspection Disabled on all VLANs.
Interface trust state All interfaces are untrusted.
Rate limit of incoming ARP packets The rate is 15 pps on untrusted interfaces, assuming that
the network is a switched network with a host
connecting to as many as 15 new hosts per second.
The rate is unlimited on all trusted interfaces.
The burst interval is 1 second.
ARP ACLs for non-DHCP environments No ARP ACLs are defined.
Validation checks No checks are performed.
