24.7.1 ARP Inspection Port Configure

Use this screen to specify whether ports are trusted or untrusted ports for ARP inspection. You

can also specify the maximum rate at which the Switch receives ARP packets on each

untrusted port. To open this screen, click Advanced Application > IP Source Guard > ARP

Inspection > Configure > Port.

Figure 110 ARP Inspection Port Configure

Syslog rate Type the maximum number of syslog messages the Switch can send to the
syslog server in one batch. This number is expressed as a rate because
the batch frequency is determined by the Log Interval. You must configure
the syslog server (Chapter 37 on page 305) to use this. Enter 0 if you do
not want the Switch to send log messages generated by ARP packets to
the syslog server.
The relationship between Syslog rate and Log interval is illustrated in the
following examples:
• 4 invalid ARP packets per second, Syslog rate is 5, Log interval is 1:
the Switch sends 4 syslog messages every second.
• 6 invalid ARP packets per second, Syslog rate is 5, Log interval is 2:
the Switch sends 10 syslog messages every 2 seconds.
Log interval Type how often (1-86400 seconds) the Switch sends a batch of syslog
messages to the syslog server. Enter 0 if you want the Switch to send
syslog messages immediately. See Syslog rate for an example of the
relationship between Syslog rate and Log interval.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The
Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click this to reset the values in this screen to their last-saved values.
