View
System view
Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
filter: Specifies the filter mode.
monitor: Specifies the monitor mode.
Description

l In filter detection mode, the device displays an alarm and filters out the ARP packets from the MAC address.
l In monitor detection mode, the device only displays an alarm.
Note that: If no detection mode is specified in the undo arp anti-attack source-mac command, both detection modes are disabled.

slot slot-number: Displays attacking MAC addresses detected on the specified device. The slot-number argument is the member number of the device in the IRF virtual device, which you can display with the display irf command. The value range for the slot-number argument depends on the number of members and numbering conditions in the current IRF virtual device. If no IRF virtual device exists, the slot-number argument is the current device number.
Description

arp detection validate { dst-mac | ip | src-mac } *
undo arp detection validate [ dst-mac | ip | src-mac ] *
View
System view
Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
dst-mac: Checks the target MAC address of ARP responses. If the target MAC address is all-zero, all-one, or inconsistent with the destination MAC address in the Ethernet header, the packet is considered invalid and discarded.
ip: Checks the source and destination IP addresses of ARP packets. The all-zero, all-one or multicast IP addresses are considered invalid and the corresponding packets are discarded. With this keyword specified, the source and destination IP addresses of ARP replies, and the source IP address of ARP requests will be checked.
src-mac: Checks whether the source MAC address of an ARP packet is identical to that in its Ethernet header. If they are identical, the packet is considered valid; otherwise, the packet is discarded.
Description
Use the arp detection validate command to configure ARP detection based on specified objects. You can specify one or more objects in one command line.
Use the undo arp detection validate command to remove detected objects. If no keyword is specified, all the detected objects are removed.
By default, ARP detection based on specified objects is disabled.

Syntax
arp fixup
View
System view
Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
None
Description
Use the arp fixup command to change dynamic ARP entries into static ARP entries.
Note that:
l The static ARP entries changed from dynamic ARP entries have the same attributes as the static ARP entries manually configured. Use the arp fixup command to change the recently created dynamic ARP entries into static.
l The number of static ARP entries changed from dynamic ARP entries is restricted by the number of static ARP entries that the device supports. As a result, the device may fail to change all dynamic ARP entries into static.
l Suppose that the number of dynamic ARP entries is D and that of the existing static ARP entries is S. When the dynamic ARP entries are changed into static, new dynamic ARP entries may be created (suppose the number is M) and some of the dynamic ARP entries may be aged out (suppose the number is N). After the process is complete, the number of static ARP entries is D + S + M – N.
l To delete a specific static ARP entry changed from a dynamic one, use the undo arp ip-address [ vpn-instance-name ] command. To delete all such static ARP entries, use the reset arp all or reset arp static command.
Examples
# Enable Fixed ARP.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] arp fixup
Syntax
arp scan [ start-ip-address to end-ip-address ]
View
VLAN interface view
Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
start-ip-address: Start IP address of the scanning range.
end-ip-address: End IP address of the scanning range. The end IP address must be higher than or equal to the start IP address.
Description
Use the arp scan command to enable ARP automatic scanning.
Note that:
l If start IP and end IP addresses are specified, the device scans the specific address range for neighbors and learns their ARP entries. If not, the device only scans the network where the primary IP address of the interface resides for neighbors.
l The start IP address and end IP address must be on the same network as the primary IP address or manually configured secondary IP addresses of the interface.
l IP addresses already exist in ARP entries are not scanned.
l ARP automatic scanning may take some time. To stop an ongoing scan, press Ctrl + C. Dynamic ARP entries are created based on ARP replies received before the scan is terminated.
Examples
# Configure the device to scan the network where the primary IP address of VLAN-interface 2 resides for neighbors.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2
[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] arp scan
# Configure the device to scan a specific address range for neighbors.

Use the undo arp filter binding command to remove an ARP filtering entry.
By default, no ARP filtering entry is configured.
Note:
l You can configure up to eight ARP filtering entries on a port.
