Command History
Usage Guidelines The switch does not check ARP packets that it receives on the trusted interface; it simply forwards the
packets.
For untrusted interfaces, the switch intercepts all ARP requests and responses. It verifies that the
intercepted packets have valid IP-to-MAC address bindings before updating the local cache and before
forwarding the packet to the appropriate destination. The switch drops invalid packets and logs them in
the log buffer according to the logging configuration specified with the ip arp inspection vlan logging
global configuration command.
Examples This example shows how to configure a port to be trusted:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config-if)# ip arp inspection trust
You can verify your setting by entering the show ip arp inspection interfaces interface-id privileged
EXEC command.
