detection-drop: Specifies notifications for packet dropping due to ARP attack detection.

entry-check: Specifies ARP entry modification notifications.

entry-limit: Specifies ARP entry limit notifications.

gateway-check: Specifies ARP gateway protection notifications.

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

mac-mismatch: Specifies MAC address inconsistency notifications.

packet-check: Specifies invalid ARP packet check notifications.

rate-limit: Specifies rate limit notifications for receiving 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 ARP active acknowledgement notifications, the device sends a notification to the SNMP module when it does not establish an ARP entry due to active acknowledgement. The notification includes the sender IP address in the received ARP packet and the interface that receives the ARP packet.

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

·     If you enable notifications for packet dropping due to ARP attack detection, the device sends a notification to the SNMP module when a packet is dropped by ARP attack detection. The notification includes the VLAN ID, service ID, and VSI for the dropped packet and packet drop reason.

·     If you enable ARP entry modification notifications, the device sends a notification to the SNMP module when it detects that the ARP entry for a user might be changed to the attacker's ARP entry. The notification includes the sender IP and MAC addresses in the ARP attack packet.

·     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 receives 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 endpoint 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.

·     If you enable MAC address inconsistency notifications, the device sends a notification to the SNMP module when the MAC address in the configured static ARP entry and user's actual MAC address are inconsistent. The notification includes the IP address, VPN instance, and MAC address in the ARP entry.

·     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 receives the ARP packet, sender MAC and IP addresses, user VLAN ID, and VLAN ID of the service provider.

·     If you enable rate limit notifications for receiving 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 Network Connectivity 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 Network Connectivity 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.

[Sysname] snmp-agent trap enable arp rate-limit

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 an attack 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 attack handling method.

monitor: Specifies the monitor attack handling method.

Usage guidelines

Application scenarios

Processing a large number of ARP packets with the same MAC address causes a busy CPU and affects normal service processing. To avoid such an issue, you can enable the source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature on the device.

Operating mechanism

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:

·     Filter—Generates log messages and filters out subsequent ARP packets from the MAC address.

·     Monitor—Only generates log messages.

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 ARP in Network Connectivity Configuration Guide.

Source MAC-based ARP attack detection checks the number of ARP packets delivered to the CPU on a per-slot basis. If the number of ARP packets received from the same MAC address within 5 seconds on the slot to which a VLAN interface belongs exceeds the threshold, the device determines that an attack has occurred.

Recommended configuration

Configure this feature on the gateways.

Restrictions and guidelines

If you change the attack handling method from monitor to filter, the configuration takes effect immediately.

If you change the attack handling method from filter to monitor, the device works as follows:

·     Uses the filter attack handling method to process the ARP packets that match the existing ARP attack entries before the entries age out.

·     Uses the monitor attack handling method to process the ARP packets that match the newly-generated ARP attack entries.

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 attack handling method.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] arp source-mac filter

arp source-mac aging-time

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 System Management 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.

A card, member device, or device can send a maximum of 128 ARP detection logs each time.

Examples

# Enable ARP attack detection logging.

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.

Examples

# Enable ARP packet validity check by checking the MAC addresses and IP addresses of ARP packets.

Parameters

slot slot-number: Specifies a cloud cluster member device by its ID.

Usage guidelines

This command displays a maximum of 1023 statistic entries for ARP attack sources and 1 identification entry.

When the maximum number is reached for the first time, the device overwrites the oldest statistics entry with the newest statistic entry and generates an identification entry. The parameters in the identification entry are as follows:

·     The Interface, VLAN, MAC address, and IP address fields are empty.

·     The Number field displays the value of the Number filed in the old entry that has been overwritten.

·     The Time field displays the time when the new entry was generated.

Subsequently, each time a new statistic entry is generated, the device updates the identification entry as follows:

·     Adds the Number field value of the new entry to the current value of the Number field.

·     Replaces the Time field value with the time when this identification entry was updated.

ARP scanning and fixed ARP commands

arp fixup

Use arp fixup to convert existing dynamic ARP entries to static ARP entries.

Use undo arp fixup to convert valid static ARP entries to dynamic ARP entries and delete invalid static ARP entries.

Syntax

arp fixup

undo arp fixup

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 command. To delete all such static ARP entries, use the reset arp all or reset arp static command.

Examples

# Convert existing dynamic ARP entries to static ARP entries.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] arp fixup

This command will convert existing dynamic ARP entries to static ARP entries. Continue? [Y/N]:Y

Fixup ARP. Please wait...

Fixup is complete.

arp scan

Use arp scan to trigger an ARP scanning in an address range.

Syntax

arp scan [ start-ip-address to end-ip-address ]

Views

VLAN interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

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

CAUTION

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.

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.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface vlan-interface 2

[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] arp scan 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.20

arp scan auto enable

Use arp scan auto enable to enable automatic ARP scanning in a specified address range on an interface.

Use undo arp scan auto enable to disable automatic ARP scanning or cancel specified ARP scanning range settings for subnets on an interface.

Syntax

arp scan auto enable [ start-ip-address to end-ip-address [ source-addr source-ip-address ] ]

undo arp scan auto enable [ start-ip-address to end-ip-address ]

Default

Automatic ARP scanning is disabled on an interface.

Views

VLAN interface view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

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

to 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. The maximum number of IP addresses in the IP range is 65535.

source-addr source-ip-address: Specifies the source address for the ARP requests. The source-ip-address argument can be any valid IP address. If you do not specify this option, the interface uses its IP address as the source address of the ARP requests.

Usage guidelines

Application scenarios

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.

Operating mechanism

If you know the IP address range assigned to the neighbors on the LAN, you can specify the assigned IP address range as the ARP scanning range to shorten the scanning waiting time. You can use this command to specify a maximum of 16 scanning ranges for different subnets. The subnet addresses for each scanning range cannot overlap with each other.

If you specify the ARP scanning range without specifying the source address for ARP requests, the interface scans the IP address intersection of the scanning range and the subnet of the interface. If the interface is configured with IP addresses on different subnets that intersect with the scanning range, the device uses the target IP address in each ARP request to match the subnets. The source IP address is the IP address with the longest subnet mask on the matching subnet. If the subnet masks are of the same length, the source address is the primary IP address for the interface. If all IP addresses in the scanning range are on the same subnet of the interface, the source address is that subnet IP address.

If you specify the ARP scanning range and source address for the sending ARP requests, the interface scans all IP addresses in the scanning range without considering the subnet addresses of the interface.

If the ARP scanning range is not specified, the interface scans neighbors on the subnets where the primary IP address and secondary IP addresses of the interface reside. The source IP addresses for the ARP requests are the primary IP address and secondary IP addresses for the interface.

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

Restrictions and guidelines

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

[Sysname-Vlan-interface2] arp scan auto enable

Related commands

arp scan auto send-rate

arp scan auto send-rate

Use arp scan auto send-rate to set the ARP packet sending rate for automatic ARP scanning.

Use undo arp scan auto send-rate to restore the default.

Syntax

arp scan auto send-rate { ppm ppm | pps }

undo arp scan auto send-rate

Default

The device sends ARP packets at the rate of 48 pps during automatic ARP scanning.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

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.

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 10

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

start-ip-address: Specifies the start IP address.

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

Usage guidelines

The gateway discards an ARP packet if its sender IP address is not within the allowed IP address range.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Examples

# Specify the sender IP address range 1.1.1.1 to 1.1.1.20 for ARP packet checking in VLAN 2.
