no ip arp inspection validate
dst-mac
- Checks the destination MAC address in the Ethernet header
against the target MAC address in the ARP body. This check is performed
for ARP responses. When enabled, packets with different MAC addresses
are classified as invalid and are dropped.
ip
- Checks the ARP body for invalid and unexpected IP addresses.
Addresses include 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, and all IP multicast addresses.
Sender IP addresses are checked in all ARP requests and responses, while
target IP addresses are checked only in ARP responses.
allow-zeros
- Allows sender IP address to be 0.0.0.0.
src-mac
- Checks the source MAC address in the Ethernet header against
the sender MAC address in the ARP body. This check is performed on both
ARP requests and responses. When enabled, packets with different MAC
addresses are classified as invalid and are dropped.
Default Setting
No additional validation is performed
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage

an ARP ACL or in the DHCP Snooping database.
