Chapter 22      Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection
Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection
Dynamic ARP Inspection Configuration Guidelines
These are the dynamic ARP inspection configuration guidelines:
  •
Dynamic ARP inspection is an ingress security feature; it does not perform any egress checking.
  •
Dynamic ARP inspection is not effective for hosts connected to switches that do not support 
dynamic ARP inspection or that do not have this feature enabled. Because man-in-the-middle 
attacks are limited to a single Layer 2 broadcast domain, separate the domain with dynamic ARP 
inspection checks from the one with no checking. This action secures the ARP caches of hosts in the 
domain enabled for dynamic ARP inspection.
  •
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 
When DHCP snooping is disabled or in non-DHCP environments, use ARP ACLs to permit or to 
deny packets.
  •
Dynamic ARP inspection is supported on access ports, trunk ports, EtherChannel ports, and private 
VLAN ports.
Note
Do not enable Dynamic ARP inspection on RSPAN VLANs. If Dynamic ARP inspection is 
enabled on RSPAN VLANs, Dynamic ARP inspection packets might not reach the RSPAN 
destination port.
  •
A physical port can join an EtherChannel port channel only when the trust state of the physical port 
and the channel port match. Otherwise, the physical port remains suspended in the port channel. A 
port channel inherits its trust state from the first physical port that joins the channel. Consequently, 
the trust state of the first physical port need not match the trust state of the channel.
Conversely, when you change the trust state on the port channel, the switch configures a new trust 
state on all the physical ports that comprise the channel.
  •
The operating rate for the port channel is cumulative across all the physical ports within the channel. 
For example, if you configure the port channel with an ARP rate-limit of 400 pps, all the interfaces 
combined on the channel receive an aggregate 400 pps. The rate of incoming ARP packets on 
EtherChannel ports is equal to the sum of the incoming rate of packets from all the channel 
members. Configure the rate limit for EtherChannel ports only after examining the rate of incoming 
ARP packets on the channel-port members.
The rate of incoming packets on a physical port is checked against the port-channel configuration 
rather than the physical-ports configuration. The rate-limit configuration on a port channel is 
independent of the configuration on its physical ports. 
If the EtherChannel receives more ARP packets than the configured rate, the channel (including all 
physical ports) is placed in the error-disabled state.
  •
Make sure to limit the rate of ARP packets on incoming trunk ports. Configure trunk ports with 
higher rates to reflect their aggregation and to handle packets across multiple dynamic ARP 
inspection-enabled VLANs. You also can use the ip arp inspection limit none interface 
configuration command to make the rate unlimited. A high rate-limit on one VLAN can cause a 
denial-of-service attack to other VLANs when the software places the port in the error-disabled 
state.
  •
When you enable dynamic ARP inspection on the switch, policers that were configured to police 
ARP traffic are no longer effective. The result is that all ARP traffic is sent to the CPU.
