Configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 136, a LAN contains two areas: an R&D area in VLAN 10 and an office area in
VLAN 20. The two areas connect to the gateway (Device) through an access switch respectively.
A large number of ARP requests are detected in the office area and are considered as a
consequence of an IP flood attack. To prevent such attacks, configure ARP source suppression.
