LABEL DESCRIPTION
Clearing log status 
table
Click Apply to remove all the log messages that were generated by ARP packets and 
that have not been sent to the syslog server yet.
Total number of logs This field displays the number of log messages that were generated by ARP packets and 
that have not been sent to the syslog server yet. If one or more log messages are 
dropped due to unavailable buffer, there is an entry called overflow with the current 
number of dropped log messages.
Index This field displays a sequential number for each log message.
Port This field displays the source port of the ARP packet.
VID This field displays the source VLAN ID of the ARP packet.
Sender MAC This field displays the source MAC address of the ARP packet.
Sender IP This field displays the source IP address of the ARP packet.
Num Pkts This field displays the number of ARP packets that were consolidated into this log 
message. The Switch consolidates identical log messages generated by ARP packets in 
the log consolidation interval into one log message. You can configure this interval in the 
ARP Inspection Configure screen. See Section 26.10 on page 278.
Reason This field displays the reason the log message was generated.
dhcp deny: An ARP packet was discarded because it violated a dynamic binding with 
the same MAC address and VLAN ID.
static deny: An ARP packet was discarded because it violated a static binding with the 
same MAC address and VLAN ID.
deny: An ARP packet was discarded because there were no bindings with the same 
MAC address and VLAN ID.
dhcp permit: An ARP packet was forwarded because it matched a dynamic binding.
static permit: An ARP packet was forwarded because it matched a static binding.
In the ARP Inspection VLAN Configure screen, you can configure the Switch to generate 
log messages when ARP packets are discarded or forwarded based on the VLAN ID of 
the ARP packet. See Section 26.10.2 on page 282.
Time This field displays when the log message was generated.
