Description: Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch MIB for Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) configuration to prevent ARP spoofing attacks.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is ME1200-ARP-INSPECTION-MIB?
ME1200-ARP-INSPECTION-MIB is a Cisco proprietary module for the ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch family, providing Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) configuration to protect against ARP spoofing attacks. It exposes global DAI admin state along with per-port and per-VLAN configuration objects controlling inspection mode, VLAN checking, logging type, and enforcement action. Its monitoring value is primarily security/configuration status: administrators can verify whether ARP inspection is globally enabled, which ports/VLANs have it active, and how detected violations are logged or acted upon. It depends on the switch's underlying VLAN and interface index model (standard IF-MIB/Q-BRIDGE-MIB conventions) to associate ARP inspection settings with physical ports and VLANs. It is typically deployed on Cisco ME1200 access/aggregation switches in metro Ethernet networks where protection against ARP spoofing is required. Engineers can download the ME1200-ARP-INSPECTION-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ME1200-ARP-INSPECTION-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Cisco ME1200 Metro Ethernet switch
Monitoring Examples
An administrator would poll me1200ArpInspectionGlobalsAdminState together with me1200ArpInspectionPortConfigTable/Entry to confirm which ports have me1200ArpInspectionPortConfigMode enabled and check me1200ArpInspectionPortConfigLogType for logging behavior. A port showing inspection disabled while me1200ArpInspectionVlanConfigVlanId indicates the VLAN itself requires inspection would reveal a misconfiguration exposing that port to ARP spoofing.
What Can Be Monitored
- global ARP inspection admin state
- per-port inspection mode
- per-VLAN inspection configuration
- VLAN checking status
- inspection logging type/action
