Configuration Guide Configuring Gateway-targeted ARP Spoofing Prevention
6 Configuring Gateway-targeted ARP Spoofing Prevention
6.1 Overview
Gateway-targeted Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing prevention effectively prevents gateway-targeted ARP
spoofing by checking on the logical port whether the source IP addresses of ARP packets (Sender IP fields of ARP packets)
are the self-configured gateway IP addresses.
Protocols and Standards
RFC 826: Ethernet Address Resolution Protocol
6.2 Applications
6.2.1 Typical Application of Gateway-targeted ARP Spoofing Prevention
Scenario
PC users access the office server through the access device Switch A, and connect to external networks through the
gateway.
If any users legally use forged gateway IP addresses or server IP addresses to perform ARP spoofing, the other users
cannot access the Internet and the server.
The ARP spoofing packets with forged gateway address and intranet server IP addresses must be blocked to ensure
that users can access the Internet.
