ARP Spoofing Prevention Settings
ARP spoofing, also known as ARP poisoning, is a method to attack an Ethernet network which may allow an attacker
to sniff data frames on a LAN, modify the traffic, or stop the traffic altogether (known as a Denial of Service - DoS
attack). The principle of ARP spoofing is to send the fake, or spoofed ARP messages to an Ethernet network.
Generally, the aim is to associate the attacker's or random MAC address with the IP address of another node (such as
the default gateway). Any traffic meant for that IP address would be mistakenly re-directed to the node specified by
the attacker.
To prevent ARP spoofing attack, the switch uses Packet Content ACL to block the invalid ARP packets which contain
faked gateway’s MAC and IP binding.
