DHCP snooping

Enabling trust on a port

The default trust setting for a port is untrusted. For ports that are connected to host ports, leave their trust settings as untrusted.

To enable trust on a port, enter commands such as the following.

Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/4

Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/4)# arp inspection trust

The commands change the CLI to the interface configuration level of port 1/1/4 and set the trust setting of port 1/1/4 to trusted.

Syntax: [no] arp inspection trust

Displaying ARP inspection status and ports

To display the ARP inspection status for a VLAN and the trusted or untrusted port, enter the following command.

Brocade# show ip arp inspection vlan 2 IP ARP inspection VLAN 2: Disabled

Trusted Ports : ethe 1/1/4

Untrusted Ports : ethe 1/1/1 to 1/1/3 ethe 1/2/1 to 1/2/4 ethe 1/3/1 to 1/3/4 ethe 1/2/7 to 1/2/9

Syntax: show ip arp inspection [vlan vlan_id]

The vlan_id variable specifies the ID of a configured VLAN.

Displaying the ARP table

To display the ARP table, enter the show arp command.

DHCP snooping

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping enables the Brocade device to filter untrusted DHCP packets in a subnet. DHCP snooping can ward off MiM attacks, such as a malicious user posing as a DHCP server sending false DHCP server reply packets with the intention of misdirecting other users. DHCP snooping can also stop unauthorized DHCP servers and prevent errors due to user mis-configuration of DHCP servers.

Often DHCP snooping is used together with Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard.
