ARP attack protection
Host A
Configuration considerations
An attacker may 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.
