Chapter 6 ARP Inspection Commands
Ethernet Switch CLI Reference Guide
33
6.2  Command Examples
This example looks at the current list of MAC address filters that were created because the 
Switch identified an unauthorized ARP packet. When the Switch identifies an unauthorized 
ARP packet, it automatically creates a MAC address filter to block traffic from the source 
MAC address and source VLAN ID of the unauthorized ARP packet.
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
This example looks at log messages that were generated by ARP packets and that have not 
been sent to the syslog server yet.

Table 18   show arp inspection filter
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Filtering aging timeout This field displays how long the MAC address filters remain in the Switch 
after the Switch identifies an unauthorized ARP packet. The Switch 
automatically deletes the MAC address filter afterwards.
MacAddress This field displays the source MAC address in the MAC address filter.
VLAN This field displays the source VLAN ID in the MAC address filter.
Port This field displays the source port of the discarded ARP packet.
Expiry (sec) This field displays how long (in seconds) the MAC address filter remains in 
the Switch. You can also delete the record manually (Delete).
Reason This field displays the reason the ARP packet was discarded.
MAC+VLAN: The MAC address and VLAN ID were not in the binding table.
IP: The MAC address and VLAN ID were in the binding table, but the IP 
address was not valid.
Port: The MAC address, VLAN ID, and IP address were in the binding 
table, but the port number was not valid.
