# Enable the checking of the MAC addresses and IP addresses of ARP packets.

After the preceding configurations are complete, when ARP packets arrive at interfaces GigabitEthernet
1/0/1 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/2, their MAC and IP addresses are checked, and then the packets are
checked against the static IP source guard binding entries and, finally, DHCP snooping entries.
However, ARP broadcast requests sent from Host A can pass the check on Switch B. Port isolation fails.
# Configure ARP restricted forwarding.
[SwitchB] vlan 10
[SwitchB-vlan10] arp restricted-forwarding enable
[SwitchB-vlan10] quit
Then, Switch B forwards ARP broadcast requests from Host A to Switch A through the trusted port
GigabitEthernet 1/0/3. Therefore, Host B cannot receive such packets. Port isolation works normally.
Configuring ARP automatic scanning and fixed ARP
ARP automatic scanning is usually used together with the fixed ARP feature.
With ARP automatic scanning enabled on an interface, the device automatically scans neighbors on the
interface, sends ARP requests to the neighbors, obtains their MAC addresses, and creates dynamic ARP
entries.
Fixed ARP allows the device to change the existing dynamic ARP entries (including those generated
through ARP automatic scanning) into static ARP entries. The fixed ARP feature effectively prevents ARP
entries from being modified by attackers.
HP recommends that you use ARP automatic scanning and fixed ARP in a small-scale network such as a
cybercafe.
Configuration procedure
IP addresses existing in ARP entries are not scanned.
ARP automatic scanning may take some time. To stop an ongoing scan, press Ctrl + C. Dynamic ARP
entries are created based on ARP replies received before the scan is terminated.
The static ARP entries changed from dynamic ARP entries have the same attributes as the manually
configured static ARP entries.
Use the arp fixup command to change the existing dynamic ARP entries into static ARP entries. You can
use this command again to change the dynamic ARP entries learned later into static ARP entries.
