Chapter 23 Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection

Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection

To disable dynamic ARP inspection, use the no ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range global configuration
command. To return the interfaces to an untrusted state, use the no ip arp inspection trust interface
configuration command.

This example shows how to configure dynamic ARP inspection on Switch A in VLAN 1. You would
perform a similar procedure on Switch B:

Switch(config)# ip arp inspection vlan 1

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1

Switch(config-if)# ip arp inspection trust

Configuring ARP ACLs for Non-DHCP Environments

This procedure shows how to configure dynamic ARP inspection when Switch B shown in

Figure 23-2

on page 23-3

does not support dynamic ARP inspection or DHCP snooping.

If you configure port 1 on Switch A as trusted, a security hole is created because both Switch A and
Host 1 could be attacked by either Switch B or Host 2. To prevent this possibility, you must configure
port 1 on Switch A as untrusted. To permit ARP packets from Host 2, you must set up an ARP ACL and
apply it to VLAN 1. If the IP address of Host 2 is not static (it is impossible to apply the ACL
configuration on Switch A) you must separate Switch A from Switch B at Layer 3 and use a router to
route packets between them.

Step 5

ip arp inspection trust

Configure the connection between the switches as trusted.

By default, all interfaces are untrusted.

The switch does not check ARP packets that it receives from the
other switch on the trusted interface. It simply forwards the
packets.

For untrusted interfaces, the switch intercepts all ARP requests
and responses. It verifies that the intercepted packets have valid
IP-to-MAC address bindings before updating the local cache and
before forwarding the packet to the appropriate destination. The
switch drops invalid packets and logs them in the log buffer
according to the logging configuration specified with the ip arp
inspection vlan logging
global configuration command. For
more information, see the

“Configuring the Log Buffer” section

.

Step 6

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 7

show ip arp inspection interfaces

show ip arp inspection vlan vlan-range

Verify the dynamic ARP inspection configuration.

Step 8

show ip dhcp snooping binding

Verify the DHCP bindings.

Step 9

show ip arp inspection statistics vlan
vlan-range

Check the dynamic ARP inspection statistics.

Step 10

copy running-config startup-config
