Configuration Example - HP MSR Series Configuration Manual

Task
Display ARP attack entries detected by source
MAC-based ARP attack detection (distributed
devices in IRF mode).

Configuration example

Network requirements
As shown in
send a large number of ARP requests to the gateway, the gateway might crash and cannot process
requests from the clients. To solve this problem, configure source MAC-based ARP attack detection
on the gateway.

Configuration considerations
An attacker might forge a large number of ARP packets by using the MAC address of a valid host as
the source MAC address. To prevent such attacks, configure the gateway in the following steps:
1. Enable source MAC-based ARP attack detection and specify the handling method as filter.
2. Set the threshold.
3. Set the lifetime for ARP attack entries.
4. Exclude the MAC address of the server from this detection.
Configuration procedure
# Enable source MAC-based ARP attack detection, and specify the handling method as filter.
<Device> system-view
[Device] arp source-mac filter
# Set the threshold to 30.
