NOTE: Dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) uses entries in the L2SysFlow CAM region, a sub-region of SystemFlow. One CAM entry isrequired for every DAI-enabled VLAN. You can enable DAI on up to 16 VLANs on a system. However, the ExaScale default CAMprofile allocates only nine entries to the L2SysFlow region for DAI. You can configure 10 to 16 DAI-enabled VLANs by allocatingmore CAM space to the L2SysFlow region before enabling DAI.SystemFlow has 102 entries by default. This region is comprised of two sub-regions: L2Protocol and L2SystemFlow. L2Protocol has 87entries; L2SystemFlow has 15 entries. Six L2SystemFlow entries are used by Layer 2 protocols, leaving nine for DAI. L2Protocol canhave a maximum of 100 entries; you must expand this region to capacity before you can increase the size of L2SystemFlow. This isrelevant when you are enabling DAI on VLANs. If, for example, you want to enable DAI on 16 VLANs, you need seven more entries; inthis case, reconfigure the SystemFlow region for 122 entries using the layer-2 eg-acl value fib value frrp valueing-acl value learn value l2pt value qos value system-flow 122 command.The logic is as follows:L2Protocol has 87 entries by default and must be expanded to its maximum capacity, 100 entries, before L2SystemFlow can beincreased; therefore, 13 more L2Protocol entries are required. L2SystemFlow has 15 entries by default, but only nine are for DAI; toenable DAI on 16 VLANs, seven more entries are required. 87 L2Protocol + 13 additional L2Protocol + 15 L2SystemFlow + 7 additionalL2SystemFlow equals 122.Configuring Dynamic ARP InspectionTo enable dynamic ARP inspection, use the following commands.1 Enable DHCP snooping.2 Validate ARP frames against the DHCP snooping binding table.INTERFACE VLAN modearp inspectionExamples of Viewing the ARP InformationTo view entries in the ARP database, use the show arp inspection database command.Dell#show arp inspection databaseProtocol Address Age(min) Hardware Address Interface VLAN CPU---------------------------------------------------------------------Internet 10.1.1.251 - 00:00:4d:57:f2:50 Te 1/2/1 Vl 10 CPInternet 10.1.1.252 - 00:00:4d:57:e6:f6 Te 1/1/1 Vl 10 CPInternet 10.1.1.253 - 00:00:4d:57:f8:e8 Te 1/3/1 Vl 10 CPInternet 10.1.1.254 - 00:00:4d:69:e8:f2 Te 1/5/1 Vl 10 CPDell#To see how many valid and invalid ARP packets have been processed, use the show arp inspection statistics command.Dell#show arp inspection statisticsDynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) Statistics---------------------------------------Valid ARP Requests : 0Valid ARP Replies : 1000Invalid ARP Requests : 1000Invalid ARP Replies : 0Dell#Bypassing the ARP InspectionYou can configure a port to skip ARP inspection by defining the interface as trusted, which is useful in multi-switch environments.ARPs received on trusted ports bypass validation against the binding table.
