ARP Cache Poisoning Attack

[Tracy Garner 0]

I am getting Firewall Detections only on a couple of the 250 PC in my environment - ARP Cache Poisoning Attack.  The problem lies with the ESET server is doing it.  It is a Linux VIrtual server (deployed from the OVA provided by ESET).  How can I create a policy or rule to stop this?

• Infringing socket
  10.xxx.##242:0  (THIS IS THE IP ADDRESS OF THE ESET PROTECT SERVER)
• Old MAC address
  ##-##-##-80-2E-04  (THIS IS THE MAC THAT IS ON THE VIRTUAL INTERFACE)
• New MAC address
  ##-##-##-38-32-30 (THIS IS THE MAC OF THE ESX SERVER IN OUR CLUSTER THAT THE ESET SERVER IS CURRENTLY ON)

You could create a policy with an IDS rule for ARP cache poisoning attack detection:

Set the actions to No and add the IP address of the server to confine the exception to the server only.
