arp-guard attack-threshold

Use this command to configure the attach threshold for ARP packets attack detection at a given rate measured in packets- per-second. The ARP packets attack threshold can be configured independently on a per-port basis and on a per-host basis (hosts identified based on source IP address, VLAN ID, and port and hosts identified based on the link-layer source MAC address, VLAN ID, and port.

Default Although the range is the same for all ARP rate limiting types, the default values vary and are as follows:
  • Per-port attack threshold default: 30.
  • Per-host (SMAC) attack threshold default: 20.
  • Per-host (SIP) attack threshold default: 20.
Format arp-guard attack-threshold { per-src-ip | per-src-mac | per-port } pps
Mode Global Config
Parameter Description
per-src-ip Detects ARP attacks by hosts identified by source IP address.
per-src-mac Detects ARP attacks by hosts identified by source MAC address.
per-port Detects ARP attacks on per port basis.
pps Indicates the rate limit in packets-per-second, ranging from 0 to 300. A value of zero (0) means no limit - the value is not tracked.

Example: The following example sets the rate-limit for hosts identified by source MAC address.

(Switching)(Config)# arp-guard attack-threshold per-src-mac 100
