Configuring ARP ACEs

Use ACE Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entries to ensure the filter looks for ARP requests or responses.

You cannot configure ARP attributes for IPv6 filters.

Before you begin

  • The ACL exists.

  • The ACE exists.

Procedure

  1. Enter Global Configuration mode:

    enable

    configure terminal

  2. Configure an ACE for ARP packets:

    filter acl ace arp <acl-id> <ace-id> operation eq <arprequest|arpresponse>

  3. Ensure the configuration is correct:

    show filter acl arp <acl-id> <ace-id>

  4. Optionally, delete the individual attributes from the ARP portion of the ACE:

    no filter acl ace arp <acl-id> <ace-id> [operation]

  5. Optionally, delete all the attributes from the ARP portion of the ACE:

    default filter acl ace arp <acl-id> <ace-id>
