header against the sender MAC address in the ARP body. This check is
performed on both ARP requests and responses.
•
Destination MAC address
: Compares the destination MAC address in the
Ethernet header against the target MAC address in the ARP body. This
check is performed for ARP responses.
•
IP addresses
: Compares the ARP body for invalid and unexpected IP
addresses. Addresses include 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.255, and all IP multicast
addresses.
