xStack® DGS-3420 Series Layer 2 Managed Stackable Gigabit Switch Web UI Reference Guide The main characteristics of IEEE 802.1Q are as follows: • Assigns packets to VLANs by filtering. • Assumes the presence of a single global spanning tree. • Uses an explicit tagging scheme with one-level tagging.

IP address is known. However, this protocol is vulnerable because crackers can spoof the IP and MAC information in the ARP packets to attack a LAN (known as ARP spoofing). This document is intended to introduce the ARP protocol, ARP spoofing attacks, and the countermeasures brought by D-Link’s switches to thwart ARP spoofing attacks.

xStack® DGS-3420 Series Layer 2 Managed Stackable Gigabit Switch Web UI Reference Guide Figure 3 - Ethernet Frame Format When the switch receives the frame, it will check the “Source Address” in the Ethernet frame’s header. If the address is not in its Forwarding Table, the switch will learn PC A’s MAC and the associated port into its Forwarding Table.

xStack® DGS-3420 Series Layer 2 Managed Stackable Gigabit Switch Web UI Reference Guide How ARP Spoofing Attacks a Network ARP spoofing, also known as ARP poisoning, is a method to attack an Ethernet network which may allow an attacker to sniff data frames on a LAN, modify the traffic, or stop the traffic altogether (known as a Denial of Service –...
Prevent ARP Spoofing using Packet Content ACL D-Link managed switches can effectively mitigate common DoS attacks caused by ARP spoofing via a unique Package Content ACL. Figure 13 – Network with Packet Content ACL...
xStack® DGS-3420 Series Layer 2 Managed Stackable Gigabit Switch Web UI Reference Guide For the reason that basic ACL can only filter ARP packets based on packet type, VLAN ID, Source, and Destination MAC information, there is a need for further inspections of ARP packets. To prevent ARP spoofing attack, we will demonstrate here via using Packet Content ACL on the Switch to block the invalid ARP packets which contain faked gateway’s MAC and IP binding.
