Parameters

pps: Specifies the upper limit for ARP packet receiving rate in pps. The value range for this argument is 5 to 2000.

Usage guidelines

If you do not specify a value for the pps argument in the arp rate-limit command, the default rate limit value applies. Packets that exceed the rate limit are discarded.

The ARP packet rate limit configured in Ethernet interface view or aggregate interface view takes effect only on the current interface. The limit on an aggregation member port takes effect only when the member port leaves the aggregation group.

Examples

# Enable the ARP packet rate limit feature on HundredGigE 1/0/1, and set the maximum ARP packet rate to 50 pps.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface hundredgige 1/0/1

[Sysname-HundredGigE1/0/1] arp rate-limit 50

arp rate-limit log enable

Use arp rate-limit log enable to enable logging for ARP packet rate limit.

Use undo arp rate-limit log enable to disable logging for ARP packet rate limit.

Syntax

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

arp-miss: Specifies sending rate limit notifications for ARP Miss messages and ARP packets.

entry-limit: Specifies ARP entry limit notifications.

gateway-check: Specifies ARP gateway protection notifications.

local-conflict: Specifies endpoints and local device conflict notifications.

packet-check: Specifies invalid ARP packet check notifications.

rate-limit: Specifies receiving rate limit notifications for ARP packets.

user-ip-conflict: Specifies user IP address conflict notifications.

user-move: Specifies user port migration notifications.

Usage guidelines

Enable SNMP notifications for ARP as required.

· If you enable sending rate limit notifications for ARP Miss messages and ARP packets, the device sends the highest threshold-crossed rate as a notification to the SNMP module when the number of ARP Miss messages or ARP packets sent per second exceeds the custom threshold.

· If you enable ARP entry limit notifications, the device sends the current number of ARP entries as a notification to the SNMP module when the number of global ARP entries exceeds the alarm threshold.

· If you enable ARP gateway protection notifications, the device sends a notification to the SNMP module when it is attacked by gateway spoofing attacks. The notification includes the sender IP and MAC addresses in the ARP attack packet dropped by ARP gateway protection, and index of the interface that received the ARP attack packet. When an ARP packet with the same sender IP address triggers the SNMP notification again within 3 minutes, the device sends a recovery notification to the SNMP module.

· If you enable endpoints and local device conflict notifications, the device sends a notification to the SNMP module when an endpoint and local device conflict occurs. The notification includes the sender IP address, sender MAC address, target IP address, and target MAC address in the conflicting ARP packet.

· An invalid ARP packet contains an invalid hardware address type, protocol address type, hardware address length, protocol address length, operation code, or VLAN. For example, when the operation code value is not 1 (ARP request) or 2 (ARP reply), the operation code is invalid and the ARP packet is invalid. If you enable invalid ARP packet check notifications, the device sends a notification to the SNMP module when it receives an invalid ARP packet. The notification includes the name of the interface that received the ARP packet, sender MAC and IP addresses, user VLAN ID, and VLAN ID of the service provider.

· If you enable receiving rate limit notifications for ARP packets, the device sends the highest threshold-crossed rate as a notification to the SNMP module. For more information about ARP packet rate limit, see "ARP packet rate limit commands."

· If you enable user IP address conflict notifications, the device sends a notification to the SNMP module when a user IP address conflict occurs. The notification includes the sender IP and MAC addresses in the conflicting ARP packet, and MAC address in the corresponding local ARP entry. For more information about enabling recording user IP address conflicts, see ARP configuration in Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

· If you enable user port migration notifications, the device sends a notification to the SNMP module when a user port changes. The notification includes the IP address, MAC address, port before migration, and port after migration of the user. For more information about enabling recording user port migrations, see ARP configuration in Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

If you do not specify any keywords, this command enables all SNMP notifications for ARP.

For ARP event notifications to be sent correctly, you must also configure SNMP on the device. For more information about SNMP configuration, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

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.

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.

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.

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

[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] arp scan

# Configure the device to scan neighbors in an address range.

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.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2

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

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.

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.
