Fix:

**The size of the "ARP anti-attack source-mac" table is 100,000.** When the table gets full then the switch will stop processing ARP attacks. The other command options that work with this are the following :

[H3C]**arp anti-attack source-mac ?**

aging-time Specify anti-attack aging time

exclude-mac Specify exclude MAC address from anti-attack check

filter Enable ARP anti-attack filter mode

monitor Enable ARP anti-attack monitor mode

threshold Specify anti-attack check threshold

The default aging-time is 300 seconds and the default threshold is 50. It is recommended that you leave the threshold at the default setting. If you set the threshold to low then you will get ARP attack indications from your routers and gateways in your table that are not valid ARP attacks. You can also use the "exclude-mac" option to exclude these devices from the ARP anti-attack detection. When the aging time for a specific entry in the table is reached it is removed from the table so it is very unlikely that the table will ever be full.
