Configuring Dynamic ARP Inspection in DHCP Environments
Before You Begin
This procedure shows how to configure dynamic ARP inspection when two switches support this feature.
Host 1 is connected to Switch A, and Host 2 is connected to Switch B. Both switches are running dynamic
ARP inspection on VLAN 1 where the hosts are located. A DHCP server is connected to Switch A. Both hosts
acquire their IP addresses from the same DHCP server. Therefore, Switch A has the bindings for Host 1 and
Host 2, and Switch B has the binding for Host 2.
Dynamic ARP inspection depends on the entries in the DHCP snooping binding database to verify
Note
IP-to-MAC address bindings in incoming ARP requests and ARP responses. Make sure to enable DHCP
snooping to permit ARP packets that have dynamically assigned IP addresses.
Follow these steps to configure dynamic ARP inspection. You must perform this procedure on both switches.
This procedure is required.
