# ARP Flux Sysctls Not Set
|
|
|
|
## Issue Description
|
|
|
|
NetAlertX detected that ARP flux protection sysctls are not set as expected:
|
|
|
|
- `net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore=1`
|
|
- `net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce=2`
|
|
|
|
## Security Ramifications
|
|
|
|
This is not a direct container breakout risk, but detection quality can degrade:
|
|
|
|
- Incorrect IP/MAC associations
|
|
- Device state flapping
|
|
- Unreliable topology or presence data
|
|
|
|
## Why You're Seeing This Issue
|
|
|
|
The running environment does not provide the expected kernel sysctl values. This is common in Docker setups where sysctls were not explicitly configured.
|
|
|
|
## How to Correct the Issue
|
|
|
|
Set these sysctls at container runtime.
|
|
|
|
- In `docker-compose.yml` (preferred):
|
|
```yaml
|
|
services:
|
|
netalertx:
|
|
sysctls:
|
|
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore: 1
|
|
net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce: 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- For `docker run`:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run \
|
|
--sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_ignore=1 \
|
|
--sysctl net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_announce=2 \
|
|
jokob-sk/netalertx:latest
|
|
```
