Chapter 25 Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection
For configuration guidelines for rate limiting trunk ports and EtherChannel ports, see the “Dynamic ARP
Inspection Configuration Guidelines” section on page 25-6.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to limit the rate of incoming ARP packets. This
procedure is optional.
To return to the default rate-limit configuration, use the no ip arp inspection limit interface
configuration command. To disable error recovery for dynamic ARP inspection, use the no errdisable
recovery cause arp-inspection global configuration command.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specify the interface to be rate-limited, and enter interface configuration
mode.
Step 3 ip arp inspection limit {rate pps [burst
interval seconds] | none}
Limit the rate of incoming ARP requests and responses on the interface.
The default rate is 15 pps on untrusted interfaces and unlimited on
trusted interfaces. The burst interval is 1 second.
The keywords have these meanings:
�� For rate pps, specify an upper limit for the number of incoming
packets processed per second. The range is 0 to 2048 pps.
(Optional) For burst interval seconds, specify the consecutive
interval in seconds, over which the interface is monitored for a high
rate of ARP packets.The range is 1 to 15.
For rate none, specify no upper limit for the rate of incoming ARP
packets that can be processed.
Step 4 exit Return to global configuration mode.
Step 5 errdisable detect cause arp-inspection
and
errdisable recovery cause
arp-inspection
and
errdisable recovery interval interval
(Optional) Enable error recovery from the dynamic ARP inspection
error-disabled state, and configure the dynamic ARP inspection recover
mechanism variables
By default, recovery is disabled, and the recovery interval is 300
seconds.
For interval interval, specify the time in seconds to recover from the
error-disabled state. The range is 30 to 86400.
Step 6 exit Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7 show ip arp inspection interfaces
show errdisable recovery
Verify your settings.
Step 8 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
