DESCRIPTION

Clearing log status table

Click Apply to remove all the log messages that were generated by ARP

 

packets and that have not been sent to the syslog server yet.

 

 

Total number of logs

This field displays the number of log messages that were generated by

 

ARP packets and that have not been sent to the syslog server yet. If one or

 

more log messages are dropped due to unavailable buffer, there is an

 

entry called overflow with the current number of dropped log messages.

 

 

Index

This field displays a sequential number for each log message.

 

 

Port

This field displays the source port of the ARP packet.

 

 

VID

This field displays the source VLAN ID of the ARP packet.

 

 

Sender Mac

This field displays the source MAC address of the ARP packet.

 

 

Sender IP

This field displays the source IP address of the ARP packet.

 

 

Num Pkts

This field displays the number of ARP packets that were consolidated into

 

this log message. The Switch consolidates identical log messages

 

generated by ARP packets in the log consolidation interval into one log

 

message. You can configure this interval in the ARP Inspection

 

Configure screen. See Section 23.7 on page 199.

 

 

Reason

This field displays the reason the log message was generated.

 

dhcp deny: An ARP packet was discarded because it violated a dynamic

 

binding with the same MAC address and VLAN ID.

 

static deny: An ARP packet was discarded because it violated a static

 

binding with the same MAC address and VLAN ID.

 

deny: An ARP packet was discarded because there were no bindings with

 

the same MAC address and VLAN ID.

 

dhcp permit: An ARP packet was forwarded because it matched a

 

dynamic binding.

 

static permit: An ARP packet was forwarded because it matched a static

 

binding.

 

In the ARP Inspection VLAN Configure screen, you can configure the

 

Switch to generate log messages when ARP packets are discarded or

 

forwarded based on the VLAN ID of the ARP packet. See Section 23.7.2

 

on page 201.

 

 

Time

This field displays when the log message was generated.
