Usage guidelines

This feature enables a device to log ARP events when ARP cannot resolve IP addresses correctly. The log information helps administrators locate and solve problems. The device can log the following ARP events:

• On a proxy ARP-disabled interface, the target IP address of a received ARP packet is not one of the following IP addresses:

  • The IP address of the receiving interface.

  • The virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

• The sender IP address of a received ARP reply conflicts with one of the following IP addresses:

  • The IP address of the receiving interface.

  • The virtual IP address of the VRRP group.

The device sends ARP log messages to the information center. You can use the info-center source command to specify the log output rules for the information center. For more information about information center, see Network Management and Monitoring Configuration Guide.

The device can generate a large number of ARP logs. To conserve system resources, enable ARP logging only when you are auditing or troubleshooting ARP events.
