ARP Inspection
ARP enables IP communication within a Layer 2 Broadcast domain by mapping IP
addresses to a MAC addresses.
A malicious user can attack hosts, switches, and routers connected to a Layer 2
network by poisoning the ARP caches of systems connected to the subnet and by
intercepting traffic intended for other hosts on the subnet. This can happen
because ARP allows a gratuitous reply from a host even if an ARP request was not
received. After the attack, all traffic from the device under attack flows through the
attacker's computer and then to the router, switch, or host.
