Using Static-Binding entries to guard against spoofing gateway attack: You can 
configure static IP-to-MAC bindings if you select this mode. For the detailed 
configuration, refer to 
If all the detection types are specified, the system uses static IP-to-MAC bindings 
first, then DHCP snooping entries, and then 802.1X security entries. If an ARP 
packet fails to pass ARP detection based on static IP-to-MAC bindings, it is 
discarded. If the packet passes this detection, it will be checked against DHCP 
snooping entries. If a match is found, the packet is considered to be valid and will 
not be checked against 802.1X security entries; otherwise, the packet is checked 
against 802.1X security entries. If a match is found, the packet is considered to be 
valid; otherwise, the packet is discarded. 
If none of the above is selected, all ARP packets are considered to be invalid.

Before enabling ARP detection based on DHCP snooping entries, make sure 
that DHCP snooping is enabled.

Before enabling ARP detection based on 802.1X security entries, make sure 
that 802.1X is enabled and the 802.1X clients are configured to upload IP 
addresses. 
ARP Packet 
Validation 
Select ARP packet validity check modes, including: 
z
 
If the source MAC address of an ARP packet is not identical to that in the 
Ethernet header, the ARP packet is discarded 
z
 
If the destination MAC address of an ARP reply is all-zero, all-one, or 
inconsistent with that in the Ethernet header, the ARP packet is discarded 
z
 
If the source IP address of an ARP request, or the source IP address or 
destination IP address of an ARP reply is all-zero, all-one or an multicast IP 
address, the ARP packet is discarded 
If none of the above is selected, the system does not check the validity of ARP 
packets. 
 
Creating a Static Binding Entry 
If you select Using Static-Binding entries to anti fake gateway attack, you can configure static 
IP-to-MAC binding entries. 
To create a static binding entry, type an IP address and MAC address in the Static Bindings field, and 
then click Add, as shown in
