Source MAC-based ARP packet rate limit commands

arp rate-limit source-mac

Use arp rate-limit source-mac to enable source MAC-based ARP packet rate limit and set the limit rate.

Use undo arp rate-limit source-mac to disable source MAC-based ARP packet rate limit.

Syntax

arp rate-limit source-mac [ mac-address ] pps

undo arp rate-limit source-mac [ mac-address ]

Default

Source MAC-based ARP packet rate limit is disabled.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

mac-address: Specifies a MAC address in the format of H-H-H. If you do not specify a MAC address, this command limits the rate of ARP packets from all MAC addresses.

pps: Specifies the limit rate for ARP packets, in pps. The value range for this argument is 1 to 500.

Usage guidelines

If you do not specify a MAC address in the undo form of this command, rate limit is disabled for ARP packets from all MAC addresses. If you specify a MAC address in the undo form of this command, rate limit is disabled for ARP packets only from the specified MAC address.

You can configure both rate limit for all ARP packets and rate limit for source MAC-specific ARP packets. For the source MAC-specific ARP packets, the smaller limit rate applies if the two limit rates are different.

If you set both ARP packet rate limits on interfaces and source MAC-based ARP packet rate limit, the rate limit works as follows:

· For the system, the rate limit that takes effect is the one with a smaller value between the sum of rate limits that take effect on the interfaces receiving ARP packets from the MAC address and the source MAC-based ARP packet rate limit set by using this command.

· For an interface, the rate limit that takes effect is the one with a smaller value between the ARP packet rate limit and the actual ARP packet traffic received by the interface.

Examples

# Enable rate limit for ARP packets from MAC address 0300-1602-00e0 and set the limit rate to 50 pps.

Source MAC-based ARP attack detection commands

arp source-mac

Use arp source-mac to enable the source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature and specify a handling method.

Use undo arp source-mac to disable the source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature.

Syntax

arp source-mac { filter | monitor }

undo arp source-mac [ filter | monitor ]

Default

The source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature is disabled.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

filter: Specifies the filter handling method.

monitor: Specifies the monitor handling method.

Usage guidelines

Configure this feature on the gateways.

This feature checks the number of ARP packets delivered to the CPU. If the number of packets from the same MAC address within 5 seconds exceeds a threshold, the device generates an ARP attack entry for the MAC address. Before the entry ages out, the device handles the attack by using either of the following methods:

· Monitor—Only generates log messages.

· Filter—Generates log messages and filters out subsequent ARP packets from the MAC address and data packets destined for or originated from the MAC address.

Make sure you have enabled the ARP logging feature before enabling the source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature. For information about the ARP logging feature, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

If you do not specify any handling method in the undo arp source-mac command, the command disables this feature.

Examples

# Enable the source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature and specify the filter handling method.

Parameters

interval interval: Specifies the interval for sending ARP attack detection logs to the information center, in seconds. The value for this argument can be 0 or a value in the range of 10 to 3600. The default value is 60. If you set the interval to 0 seconds, the device sends ARP detection logs to the information center immediately.

number number: Specifies the maximum number of ARP attack detection logs for each log output. The value range for the number argument is 1 to 128, and the default value is 128.

threshold threshold-value: Specifies the per-destination address threshold for ARP attack detection logging. When the number of ARP packets destined for a destination address reaches or exceeds the threshold, the device generates an ARP attack detection log. The value range for the threshold-value argument is 1 to 128, and the default is 1.

Usage guidelines

This feature enables the device to generate ARP detection logs and send them to the information center. For information about the log destination and output rule configuration in the information center, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

As a best practice, disable this feature if the log generation affects the device performance.

Excessive number of logs not only affects the device performance, but also makes it difficult for you to locate logs for specific events. To resolve the issue, you can adjust the maximum number of ARP attack detection logs for each log output. The logs that exceed the number limit will not be output and displayed. In addition, you can also adjust the per-destination address threshold for logging. The device generates a log only when the number of packets destined for a destination address reaches or exceeds the threshold.

An IRF member device can send a maximum of 128 ARP attack detection logs each time.

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 sender and target IP addresses of ARP replies, and the sender IP address of ARP requests. All-one or multicast IP addresses are considered invalid and the corresponding packets are discarded.

src-mac: Checks whether the sender MAC address in the message body is identical to the source MAC address in the Ethernet header. If they are identical, the packet is forwarded. Otherwise, the packet is discarded.

Usage guidelines

You can specify more than one object to be checked in one command line.

If no keyword is specified, the undo arp detection validate command disables ARP packet validity check for all objects.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

The ARP conversion is a one-time operation. You can use this command again to convert the dynamic ARP entries learned later to static.

The static ARP entries converted from dynamic ARP entries have the same attributes as the manually configured static ARP entries. Due to the device's limit on the total number of static ARP entries, some dynamic ARP entries might fail the conversion.

The static ARP entries after conversion can include the following entries:

· Existing dynamic and static ARP entries before conversion.

· New dynamic ARP entries learned during the conversion.

Dynamic ARP entries that are aged out during the conversion are not converted to static ARP entries.

To delete a 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.

Parameters

start-ip-address: Specifies the start IP address of the scanning range.

end-ip-address: Specifies the end IP address of the scanning range. The end IP address must be higher than or equal to the start IP address.

send-rate: Specifies the rate at which the device sends ARP requests for ARP scanning.

ppm ppm: Specifies the ARP packet sending rate, in packets per minute (ppm). The value range for the ppm argument is 10 to 600, and the value must be a multiple of 10.

ppm pps: Specifies the ARP packet sending rate, in packets per second (pps). The value range for the pps argument is 10 to 1000, and the value must be a multiple of 10.

Usage guidelines

CAUTION:

ARP scanning will take some time and occupy a lot of system and network resources. To stop an ongoing scan, press Ctrl + C. Dynamic ARP entries are created based on ARP replies received before the scan is terminated.

ARP scanning automatically creates ARP entries for devices in the specified address range. IP addresses already in existing ARP entries are not scanned.

If the interface's primary and secondary IP addresses are in the address range, the sender IP address in the ARP request is the address on the smallest network segment.

If no address range is specified, the device learns ARP entries for devices on the subnet where the primary IP address of the interface resides. The sender IP address in the ARP requests is the primary IP address of the interface.

The start and end IP addresses must be on the same subnet as the primary IP address or secondary IP addresses of the interface.

You can set the ARP packet sending rate if the scanning range has a large number of IP addresses. This setting can avoid high CPU usage and heavy network load caused by a burst of ARP traffic.

When you set the sending rate to a large value, the device might use a rate lower than the specified rate to ensure the device performance.

If you do not set the ARP packet sending rate, the device sends ARP requests to all IP addresses in the specified scanning range simultaneously.

Examples

# Configure the device to scan the neighbors on the network where the primary IP address of VLAN-interface 2 resides.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2

Parameters

start-ip-address: Specifies the start IP address of the scanning range.

end-ip-address: Specifies the end IP address of the scanning range. The end IP address must be higher than or equal to the start IP address.

Usage guidelines

Automatic ARP scanning enables an interface to update its ARP entries in time. It automatically sends ARP requests to the IP addresses in the specified address range to create ARP entries for them. IP addresses that already have ARP entries are not scanned any more.

If the interface's primary and secondary IP addresses are in the address range, the sender IP address in the ARP request is the address on the smallest network segment.

If no address range is specified, the device learns ARP entries for devices on the subnet where the primary IP address of the interface resides. The sender IP address for the ARP requests is the primary IP address of the interface.

You can set the ARP request sending rate by using the arp scan auto send-rate command.

If you trigger ARP scanning and enable automatic ARP scanning on an interface, both of them take effect. As a best practice, enable automatic ARP scanning only on networks where user come online and go offline frequently.

Examples

# Configure the device to automatically scan the neighbors on the network where the primary IP address of VLAN-interface 2 resides.

ppm pps: Specifies the ARP packet sending rate, in packets per second (pps). The value range for the pps argument is 10 to 1000, and the value must be a multiple of 10.

Usage guidelines

You can set the ARP packet sending rate if the scanning range has a large number of IP addresses. This setting can avoid high CPU usage and heavy network load caused by a burst of ARP traffic.

When you set the sending rate to a large value, the device might use a rate lower than the specified rate to ensure the device performance.

Examples

# Set the ARP packet sending rate to 10 pps during automatic ARP scanning.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] arp scan auto send-rate pps 10

network-admin

Parameters

time: Specifies the aging time for ARP keepalive entries in minutes. The value range for this argument is 1 to 1440.

Usage guidelines

With ARP keepalive entry scanning enabled, the device generates a keepalive entry in online state for a user that comes online. If the user goes offline, the device will perform the following tasks:

· Set the state of the keepalive entry for that user to offline state.

· Delete the keepalive entry if its state does not restore to online after the aging time elapses.

A short aging time causes the keepalive entries to have not enough time to restore online state. A long aging time leads to entry redundancy.

Examples

# Set the aging time for ARP keepalive entries to 10 minutes.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] arp scan keepalive aging-time 10

Related commands

arp scan keepalive enable

Use arp scan keepalive enable to enable ARP keepalive entry scanning.

Use undo arp scan keepalive enable to disable ARP keepalive entry scanning.

Syntax

Usage guidelines

In a large-scale network, it takes a long time for ARP scanning to identify the hosts that go offline abnormally if you specify a large scanning range. After you enable ARP keepalive entry scanning, the system can quickly locate those hosts and monitor the host status within the aging time.

When users come online, the system generates dynamic APR entries and IPSG binding entries. Enabled with ARP keepalive entry scanning, the system also creates online keepalive entries when users come online. If users go offline, the corresponding APR entries are deleted and the status of the keepalive entries is set to offline. The device sends ARP requests at intervals to the IP addresses in the offline keepalive entries until the keepalive entries become online again.

The interval varies with the number of ARP requests that have been sent to the IP address in an offline keepalive entry:

· If the number is not greater than 50, the device sends an ARP request every 30 seconds.

· If the number is greater than 50 but not greater than 100, the device sends an ARP request every 45 seconds.

· If the number is greater than 100, the device sends an ARP request every 60 seconds.

To view the keepalive entries, use the display arp scan keepalive entry command.

For more information about IP source guard configuration, see Security Configuration Guide.

To set the aging time for ARP keepalive entries, use the arp scan keepalive aging-time command. The offline keepalive entries are deleted when the aging time expires.

Parameters

pps: Specifies the ARP packet sending rate, in packets per second (pps). The value range for this argument is 10 to 1000, and the value must be a multiple of 10.

Usage guidelines

Enabled with keepalive entry scanning, the interface sends ARP requests to the IP addresses in the offline keepalive entries. To avoid any impact on the device performance, use this command to set the ARP packet sending rate for keepalive entry scanning.

If the status of a keepalive entry is set to offline and does not become online within an interval, the keepalive entry is to be scanned. The interface sends an ARP request per second to the IP address in each keepalive entry to be scanned.

The ARP packet sending rate is the maximum number of scanned keepalive entries per second.

· If the number of keepalive entries to be scanned per second is lower than the sending rate, the device scans all these keepalive entries within a second.

· If the number of keepalive entries to be scanned per second is greater than the sending rate, the device scans the keepalive entries at the sending rate.

When you set the sending rate to a large value, the device might use a rate lower than the specified rate to ensure the device performance.

Examples

# Set the ARP packet sending rate to 10 pps during keepalive entry scanning.

Syntax

display arp scan keepalive statistics [ slot slot-number [ cpu cpu-number ] ] [ interface interface-type interface-number ]

Views

Predefined user roles

network-admin

network-operator

Parameters

interface interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number. If you do not specify an interface, this command displays statistics about ARP keepalive entry scanning for all interfaces.

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF member device by its member ID. If you do not specify a member device, this command displays statistics about ARP keepalive entry scanning on all member devices.

Usage guidelines

Interfaces enabled with ARP keepalive entry scanning send ARP requests to the IP addresses in offline ARP keepalive entries until the entries restore online state. This command displays the number of the ARP requests sent to the IP addresses in the offline keepalive entries in the last five seconds, one minute, and five minutes.

A great many ARP requests indicate that the number of offline keepalive entries is great or some offline entries remain in offline state for a long time. The reasons and solutions are as follows:

1. Use the display arp scan keepalive entry command to identify the number of offline keepalive entries.

2. If the number of offline keepalive entries is large, check the aging time set for offline keepalive entries. Shorten the aging time if it is too long.

3. If the aging time is proper, the problem might be caused by too many abnormal user offline events. In this case, check the network configuration and condition.

4. If the number of offline keepalive entries is not large, the problem might be because some offline keepalive entries cannot restore online state through ARP requests. In this case, troubleshoot according to the offline entries.

Examples

# Display statistics about ARP requests sent to the IP addresses in offline keepalive entries on slot 1.
