and  takes  an  effect  on  the  whole  network.  Or  the  switches  are  made  used  of  by  vicious 
attackers,  and  they  intercept  and  capture  packets  transferred  by  switches  or  attack  other 
switches, host computers or network equipment. 
What  the  essential  method  on  preventing  attack  and  spoofing  switches  based  on  ARP  in 
networks  is  to  disable  switch  automatic  update  function;  the  cheater  can’t  modify  corrected 
MAC address in  order to  avoid wrong packets transfer and can’t obtain other information. At 
one  time,  it  doesn’t  interrupt  the  automatic  learning function  of  ARP.  Thus  it  prevents ARP 
spoofing and attack to a great extent. 
26.2 Prevent ARP Spoofing configuration 
The steps of preventing ARP spoofing configuration as below: 
1.  Disable ARP automatic update function 
2.  Disable ARP automatic learning function
