Folks,

Just to obtain some clarity on what fields Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) uses
to validity ARP packets...

Schematic:  Ethernet header (L2-src L2-dst)  ARP packet (SHA SPA THA TPA)

Question: in ARP replies is "(L2-dst, TPA)" in the DHCP snooping binding
table a requirement for validation?

1. Plain or Vanilla DAI
Valid if:
A.  (L2-src, SPA) is in the DHCP snooping binding table.

E.g.; you could have SHA != L2-src or THA != L2-dst and packet will still
validate (see below)

2. ip arp inspection validate src-mac
Valid if:
A.  (L2-src, SPA) is in the DHCP snooping binding table.
B. L2-src == SHA

3. ip arp inspection validate dst-mac

Valid if:
A.  (L2-src, SPA) is in the DHCP snooping binding table.
B. L2-dst == THA

4. ip arp inspection validate ip

Requires
A.  (L2-src, SPA) is in the DHCP snooping binding table.
B. SPA != 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 224.0.0.0/4
     (in ARP replies) TPA != 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 224.0.0.4/4

Do you agree with this summary?

Cheers
Richard
