Source MAC-based ARP attack detection commands

arp source-mac

Use arp source-mac to enable the source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature and specify a handling method.

Use undo arp source-mac to disable the source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature.

Syntax

arp source-mac { filter | monitor }

undo arp source-mac [ filter | monitor ]

Default

The source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature is disabled.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

context-admin

Parameters

filter: Specifies the filter handling method.

monitor: Specifies the monitor handling method.

Usage guidelines

Configure this feature on the gateways.

This feature checks the number of ARP packets delivered to the CPU. If the number of packets from the same MAC address within 5 seconds exceeds a threshold, the device generates an ARP attack entry for the MAC address. Before the entry ages out, the device handles the attack by using either of the following methods:

· Monitor—Only generates log messages.

· Filter—Generates log messages and filters out subsequent ARP packets from the MAC address.

Make sure you have enabled the ARP logging feature before enabling the source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature. For information about the ARP logging feature, see ARP configuration in Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

If you do not specify any handling method in the undo arp source-mac command, the command disables this feature.

Examples

# Enable the source MAC-based ARP attack detection feature and specify the filter handling method.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] arp source-mac filter

arp source-mac aging-time

Use arp source-mac aging-time to set the aging time for ARP attack entries.

Use undo arp source-mac aging-time to restore the default.

Parameters

rule-id: Assigns an ID to the user validity check rule. The ID value range is 0 to 511. A smaller value represents a higher priority.

deny: Denies matching ARP packets.

permit: Permits matching ARP packets.

ip { ip-address [ mask ] | any }: Specifies the sender IP address as the match criterion.

· ip-address: Specifies an IP address in dotted decimal notation.

· mask: Specifies the address mask in dotted decimal notation. If you do not specify the mask, the ip-address argument specifies a host IP address.

· any: Matches any IP address.

mac { mac-address [ mask ] | any }: Specifies the sender MAC address as the match criterion.

· mac-address: Specifies a MAC address in the H-H-H format.

· mask: Specifies the MAC address mask in the H-H-H format. If you do not specify the mask, the argument specifies the host MAC address.

· any: Matches any MAC address.

vlan vlan-id: Specifies the ID of a VLAN in the specified rule. The value range for the vlan-id argument is 1 to 4094. If you do not specify a VLAN, the packets' VLAN information is not checked.

Usage guidelines

A user validity check rule takes effect only when ARP attack detection is enabled.

If you do not specify a rule ID, the undo arp detection rule command deletes all user validity check rules.

Examples

# Configure a user validity check rule and enable ARP detection for VLAN 2.

<Sysname> system-view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

context-admin

Parameters

dst-mac: Checks the target MAC address of ARP responses. If the target MAC address is all-zero, all-one, or inconsistent with the destination MAC address in the Ethernet header, the packet is considered invalid and discarded.

ip: Checks the sender and target IP addresses of ARP replies, and the sender IP address of ARP requests. All-one or multicast IP addresses are considered invalid and the corresponding packets are discarded.

src-mac: Checks whether the sender MAC address in the message body is identical to the source MAC address in the Ethernet header. If they are identical, the packet is forwarded. Otherwise, the packet is discarded.

Usage guidelines

You can specify more than one object to be checked in one command line.

If no keyword is specified, the undo arp detection validate command disables ARP packet validity check for all objects.

Examples

# Enable ARP packet validity check by checking the MAC addresses and IP addresses of ARP packets.

ARP scanning and fixed ARP commands

arp fixup

Use arp fixup to convert existing dynamic ARP entries to static ARP entries.

Syntax

arp fixup

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

context-admin

Usage guidelines

The ARP conversion is a one-time operation. You can use this command again to convert the dynamic ARP entries learned later to static.

The static ARP entries converted from dynamic ARP entries have the same attributes as the manually configured static ARP entries. Due to the device's limit on the total number of static ARP entries, some dynamic ARP entries might fail the conversion.

The static ARP entries after conversion can include the following entries:

· Existing dynamic and static ARP entries before conversion.

· New dynamic ARP entries learned during the conversion.

Dynamic ARP entries that are aged out during the conversion are not converted to static ARP entries.

To delete a static ARP entry changed from a dynamic one, use the undo arp ip-address [ vpn-instance-name ] command. To delete all such static ARP entries, use the reset arp all or reset arp static command.

Examples

# Convert existing dynamic ARP entries to static ARP entries.

Parameters

start-ip-address: Specifies the start IP address of the scanning range.

end-ip-address: Specifies the end IP address of the scanning range. The end IP address must be higher than or equal to the start IP address.

Usage guidelines

CAUTION:

ARP scanning will take some time and occupy a lot of device and network resources. To stop an ongoing scan, press Ctrl + C. Dynamic ARP entries are created based on ARP replies received before the scan is terminated.

ARP scanning automatically creates ARP entries for devices in the specified address range. IP addresses already in existing ARP entries are not scanned.

If the interface's primary and secondary IP addresses are in the address range, the sender IP address in the ARP request is the address on the smallest network segment.

If no address range is specified, the device learns ARP entries for devices on the subnet where the primary IP address of the interface resides. The sender IP address in the ARP requests is the primary IP address of the interface.

The start and end IP addresses must be on the same subnet as the primary IP address or secondary IP addresses of the interface.

Examples

# Configure the device to scan neighbors on the network where the primary IP address of GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 resides.

<Sysname> system-view
