DAI

Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI)

Optical LAN ONTs support Layer 2-based support for Dynamic ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) that allows the device to prevent any DHCP snooping or unauthorized attacks occurring on subscriber ports. The feature is designed with the purpose of learning the MAC to IP address binding from the DHCP Acknowledgment messages populated in the Forwarding DB table. The Forwarding DB table contains MAC addresses that should be equivalent to the IP addresses validating port packets arriving upstream. 

When DHCP snooping is enabled for VLANs, the Dynamic ARP Inspection check box is provided in the VLAN Property table. VLANs that are chosen for ARP inspection will send the same MAC to IP bindings as designated subscriber ports.

The following table displays the DAI attributes.

 

Attribute

Description

Notes

Admin State

Allows or disallows Dynamic ARP inspection service on the OLT. Values are Enable or Disable.

Default is Disabled.

Logging Admin State

Allows or disallows the logging of DAI events. Values are Enable or Disable

Default is Disabled.

Logging Type

Defines whether to log permitted ARPs, Denied ARPs or Both. Values are Deny, Permit or Both

Default is Deny.

Enable Designated MAC Check

Ensures that the destination MAC of the Ethernet header agrees with the target MAC in the ARP body in ARP responses. Select check box to enable MAC check. Values are Enable or Disable

Default is Enable

Enable ARP IP Check

Ensures that the IP address is a valid IP address. It will exclude all multicast addresses, or IPs that are all zeros. The IP will be checked in ARP requests and responses. Select check box to enable IP check. Values are Enable or Disable.

Default is Enable

Enable Source MAC Check

Validates that the ARP header and body have the same source MAC address for both ARP requests and responses. Values are Enable or Disable.

Default is Enable

Enable IP Source Protection

Ensures that IP source protection is enforced by the OLT and the MAC to Source IP bindings are learned form the DHCP requests or from the ARPs, when a static IP is used. Values are Enable or Disable.

Default is Enable
