Re: Dhcp snooping And ARP-Protection

We use DHCP snooping only on edge switches where users are able to connect equipment. We secure all vlans except the switch management vlan.

Re: Dhcp snooping And ARP-Protection

We do not use arp protection, so I cannot comment about that. We have basically the same architecture as you, and we have disabled option 82

no dhcp-snooping option 82

The Arp-protect feature we can use in the vlan context to protect the network gateway for this vlan, normally the  interface vlan located in the core switches or fixed ports switches working as core switches.

You can limit the number of arp entries according to the size of vlan´s network /24 /23 /22 with the command

arp max-learning-num XXXX

to preserve memory and processing.

It is necessary configure arp-protection trust feature in the uplink to the switch where is the interface vlan or gateway for the vlan.
