Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection
Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection in DHCP Environments
This procedure shows how to configure dynamic ARP inspection when two switches support this
feature. Host 1 is connected to Switch A, and Host 2 is connected to Switch B as shown in
feature. Host 1 is connected to Switch A, and Host 2 is connected to Switch B as shown in
. Both switches are running dynamic ARP inspection on VLAN 1 where the hosts are
located. A DHCP server is connected to Switch A. Both hosts acquire their IP addresses from the same
DHCP server. Therefore, Switch A has the bindings for Host 1 and Host 2, and Switch B has the binding
for Host 2.
DHCP server. Therefore, Switch A has the bindings for Host 1 and Host 2, and Switch B has the binding
for Host 2.
Note
Dynamic ARP inspection depends on the entries in the DHCP snooping binding database to verify
IP-to-MAC address bindings in incoming ARP requests and ARP responses. Make sure to enable DHCP
snooping to permit ARP packets that have dynamically assigned IP addresses. For configuration
information, see

Enable dynamic ARP inspection on a per-VLAN basis. By
default, dynamic ARP inspection is disabled on all VLANs.

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.

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
