What is DAI (Dynamic ARP Inspection)?

What is DAI (Dynamic ARP Inspection)?

Dynamic ARP Inspection Introduction: DAI is a layer 2 security, configured on switches. It monitors the incoming ARP messages on untrusted ports. To filter, DAI compares these messages with DHCP snooping binding table and any configured ARP ACLs. If ARP message doesn’t match with table entry, then it discards the packet. To understand how DAI … Read more

Ospfv3 ipv4 configuration

Ospfv3 ipv4 configuration

OSPFv2 is designed for IPv4 networks. OSPFv3 is specifically developed for IPv6 networks and is built on top of the Internet Protocol version 6. OSPFv2 uses IPv4 unicast addressing to exchange routing information between routers. It relies on IPv4 addresses to identify network interfaces and establish OSPF adjacencies. OSPFv3, in contrast, uses IPv6 link-local addresses … Read more
