What the essential method on preventing attack and spoofing switches based on ARP in networks is to
disable switch automatic update function; the cheater can’t modify corrected MAC address in order to avoid
wrong packets transfer and can’t obtain other information. At one time, it doesn’t interrupt the automatic
learning function of ARP. Thus it prevents ARP spoofing and attack to a great extent.
ND is neighbor discovering protocol in IPv6 protocol, and it’s similar to ARP on operation principle, therefore
we do in the same way as preventing ARP spoofing to prevent ND spoofing and attack.
24.2 Prevent ARP, ND Spoofing configuration
The steps of preventing ARP, ND spoofing configuration as below:
1. Disable ARP, ND automatic update function
2. Disable ARP, ND automatic learning function
3. Changing dynamic ARP, ND to static ARP, ND
1. Disable ARP, ND automatic update function
Command Explanation
Global Mode and Port Mode
ip arp-security updateprotect
no ip arp-security updateprotect
ipv6 nd-security updateprotect
no ipv6 nd-security updateprotect
Disable and enable ARP, ND automatic
update function.
2. Disable ARP, ND automatic learning function
Command Explanation
Global mode and Interface Mode
ip arp-security learnprotect
no ip arp-security learnprotect
ipv6 nd-security learnprotect
no ipv6 nd-security learnprotect
Disable and enable ARP, ND automatic
learning function.
3. Function on changing dynamic ARP, ND to static ARP, ND
Command Explanation
Global Mode and Port Mode
ip arp-security convert
ipv6 nd-security convert
Change dynamic ARP, ND to static ARP, ND.
