Configuring ARP source suppression, Enabling ARP black hole routing

Page 181 highlights

• ARP source suppression-If the attack packets have the same source address, you can enable the ARP source suppression function, and set the maximum number of unresolvable IP packets that the device can receive from a host within 5 seconds. If the threshold is reached, the device stops resolving packets from the host until the 5 seconds elapse. • ARP black hole routing-You can enable the ARP black hole routing function regardless of whether the attack packets have the same source address. After receiving an unresolvable IP packet, the device creates a black hole route destined for that IP address and drops all the matching packets until the black hole route ages out. Configuring ARP source suppression Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enable ARP source suppression. 3. Set the maximum number of unresolvable packets that the device can receive from a host within 5 seconds. Command system-view arp source-suppression enable arp source-suppression limit limit-value Remarks N/A By default, ARP source suppression is disabled. By default, the maximum number is 10. Enabling ARP black hole routing Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enable ARP black hole routing. Command system-view arp resolving-route enable Remarks N/A By default, ARP black hole routing is enabled.

Each area connects to the gateway (Device) through an access switch. A large number of ARP requests are detected in the office area and are considered as the consequence of an unresolvable IP attack. To prevent such attacks, configure ARP source suppression and ARP black hole routing. 172

Configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in
Figure 61
, a LAN contains two areas: an R&D area in VLAN 10 and an office area in VLAN
20. Each area connects to the gateway (Device) through an access switch.
A large number of ARP requests are detected in the office area and are considered as the consequence
of an unresolvable IP attack. To prevent such attacks, configure ARP source suppression and ARP black
hole routing.
