In the network topology above, SWITCH B connects to many PC users, before enabling the 
number limitation function of MAC and IP in Port, VLAN, if the system hardware has no other 
limitation, SWTICH A and SWTICH B can get the MAC, ARP, ND list entries of all the PC, so 
limiting the  MAC, ARP list  entry can  avoid  DOS attack to a  certain extent. When malicious 
users frequently do MAC, ARP cheating, it will be easy for them to fill the MAC, ARP list entries 
of  the  switch,  causing  successful  DOS  attacks.  Limiting  the  MAC,  ARP,  ND  list  entry  can 
prevent DOS attack. 
On port 1/1 of SWITCH A, set the max number can be learnt of dynamic MAC address as 20, 
dynamic ARP address as 20, NEIGHBOR list entry as 10. In VLAN 1, set the max number of 
dynamic MAC address as 30, of dynamic ARP address as 30, NEIGHBOR list entry as 20. 
SWITCH A configuration task sequence: 
Switch (config)#interface ethernet 1/1 
Switch  (Config-If-Ethernet1/1)#switchport  mac-address  dynamic  maximum 
20 
Switch (Config-If-Ethernet1/1)#switchport arp dynamic maximum 20 
Switch (Config-If-Ethernet1/1)#switchport nd dynamic maximum 10 
Switch (Config-if-Vlan1)#vlan mac-address dynamic maximum 30 
41.4 The Number Limitation Function of MAC and IP in Port, VLAN 
Troubleshooting Help 
The number limitation function of MAC and IP in Port, VLAN is disabled by default, if users 
need  to  limit  the  number  of  user  accessing  the  network,  they  can  enable  it.  If  the  number 
limitation function of MAC address can not be configured, please check whether Spanning-tree, 
dot1x, TRUNK is running on the switch and whether the port is configured as a MAC-binding 
port.  The  number  limitation  function  of  MAC  address  is  mutually  exclusive  to  these 
configurations, so if the users need to enable the number limitation function of MAC address 
on the port, they should check these functions mentioned above on this port are disabled. 
If all the configurations are normal, after enabling the number limitation function of MAC and IP 
in Port, VLAN, users can use debug commands to debug every limitation, check the details of 
number limitations and judge whether the number limitation function is correct. If there is any 
problem, please sent result to technical service center.
