An interface enabled with this feature checks the sender IP and MAC addresses in a received ARP packet
against permitted entries. If a match is found, the packet is handled correctly. If not, the packet is
discarded.
Configuration guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you configure ARP filtering:
• You can configure a maximum of eight permitted entries on an interface.
• Do not configure both the arp filter source and arp filter binding commands on an interface.
• If ARP filtering works with ARP detection, MFF, and ARP snooping, ARP filtering applies first.
Configuration procedure
To configure ARP filtering:

Configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 116, the IP and MAC addresses of Host A are 10.1.1.2 and 000f-e349-1233,
respectively. The IP and MAC addresses of Host B are 10.1.1.3 and 000f-e349-1234, respectively.
Configure ARP filtering on Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 and Ten-GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 of Switch B to
permit ARP packets from only Host A and Host B.
