Network Topology

Server 1 sends an ARP request message to the Gateway, and the Gateway sends a unicast ARP response message to Server 1.

Assuming that broadcast ARP request packets need to be counted on the intermediate device SW1, create a MAC ACL to match packets with type 0806 and a source MAC of 0001-0001-0001.

Configuration Steps

Step 1: Define a MAC ACL to match ARP traffic in one direction (using ARP Requests as an example).

acl mac 4000
 rule 0 permit type 0806 ffff source-mac 0001-0001-0001 ffff-ffff-ffff

Step 2: Define classifier matching ACL and counting behaviors.

traffic classifier classifier_1 
if-match acl 4000 
traffic behavior behavior_1 
accounting packet

Step 3: Define QoS related classifiers and behaviors.

qos policy policy_1 
classifier classifier_1 behavior behavior_1

Step 4: Apply QoS to the corresponding direction of the corresponding interface.

interface GigabitEthetrne 1/0/1 
qos apply policy policy_1 inbound 
interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 
qos apply policy policy_1 outbound

Key Configuration

When configuring traffic statistics for ARP packets, note that it is necessary to create a MAC ACL to match ARP packets with type number 0806 based on their source and destination MAC addresses.
