DHCP snooping
Enabling trust on a port
The default trust setting for a port is untrusted. For ports that are connected to host ports, leave
their trust settings as untrusted.
To enable trust on a port, enter commands such as the following.
Brocade(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/4
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/4)# arp inspection trust
The commands change the CLI to the interface configuration level of port 1/1/4 and set the trust
setting of port 1/1/4 to trusted.
Syntax: [no] arp inspection trust
Displaying ARP inspection status and ports
To display the ARP inspection status for a VLAN and the trusted or untrusted port, enter the
following command.
Syntax: show ip arp inspection [vlan vlan_id]
The vlan_id variable specifies the ID of a configured VLAN.
Displaying the ARP table
To display the ARP table, enter the show arp command.
The command displays all ARP entries in the system.
Syntax: show arp
DHCP snooping
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) snooping enables the Brocade device to filter
untrusted DHCP packets in a subnet. DHCP snooping can ward off MiM attacks, such as a
malicious user posing as a DHCP server sending false DHCP server reply packets with the intention
of misdirecting other users. DHCP snooping can also stop unauthorized DHCP servers and prevent
errors due to user mis-configuration of DHCP servers.
Often DHCP snooping is used together with Dynamic ARP Inspection and IP Source Guard.
