ARP Inspection

Command Mode
Global Configuration

Command Usage

When ARP Inspection is enabled globally with this command, it becomes active only on those
VLANs where it has been enabled with the

ip arp inspection vlan

command.

When ARP Inspection is enabled globally and enabled on selected VLANs, all ARP request and
reply packets on those VLANs are redirected to the CPU and their switching is handled by the
ARP Inspection engine.

When ARP Inspection is disabled globally, it becomes inactive for all VLANs, including those
where ARP Inspection is enabled.

When ARP Inspection is disabled, all ARP request and reply packets bypass the ARP Inspection
engine and their manner of switching matches that of all other packets.

Disabling and then re-enabling global ARP Inspection will not affect the ARP Inspection
configuration for any VLANs.

When ARP Inspection is disabled globally, it is still possible to configure ARP Inspection for
individual VLANs. These configuration changes will only become active after ARP Inspection is
globally enabled again.

Example

Console(config)#ip arp inspection
