Verifying That DAI Is Working Correctly

Purpose

Verify that dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) is working on the switch.

Action

Send some ARP requests from network devices connected to the switch.

Display the DAI information:

ARP inspection statistics:
Interface        Packets received  ARP inspection pass   ARP inspection failed
---------------  ---------------   -------------------- ---------------------
ge-0/0/1.0                      7                    5                     2
ge-0/0/2.0                     10                   10                     0
ge-0/0/3.0                     12                   12                     0

Meaning

The sample output shows the number of ARP packets received and inspected per interface, with a listing of how many packets passed and how many failed the inspection on each interface. The switch compares the ARP requests and replies against the entries in the DHCP snooping database. If a MAC address or IP address in the ARP packet does not match a valid entry in the database, the packet is dropped.
