.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip adjust-mss <mss | clamp-mss-to-pmtu>

  As Internet wide PMTU discovery rarely works, we sometimes need to clamp our
  TCP MSS value to a specific value. This is a field in the TCP options part of
  a SYN packet. By setting the MSS value, you are telling the remote side
  unequivocally 'do not try to send me packets bigger than this value'.

  .. note:: This command was introduced in VyOS 1.4 - it was previously called:
    ``set firewall options interface <name> adjust-mss <value>``

  .. hint:: MSS value = MTU - 20 (IP header) - 20 (TCP header), resulting in
    1452 bytes on a 1492 byte MTU.

  Instead of a numerical MSS value `clamp-mss-to-pmtu` can be used to
  automatically set the proper value.

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip arp-cache-timeout

  Once a neighbor has been found, the entry is considered to be valid for at
  least for this specific time. An entry's validity will be extended if it
  receives positive feedback from higher level protocols.

  This defaults to 30 seconds.

  Example:

  .. code-block:: none

    set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ip arp-cache-timeout 180

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip disable-arp-filter

  If set the kernel can respond to arp requests with addresses from other
  interfaces. This may seem wrong but it usually makes sense, because it
  increases the chance of successful communication. IP addresses are owned by
  the complete host on Linux, not by particular interfaces. Only for more
  complex setups like load-balancing, does this behaviour cause problems.

  If not set (default) allows you to have multiple network interfaces on the
  same subnet, and have the ARPs for each interface be answered based on whether
  or not the kernel would route a packet from the ARP'd IP out that interface
  (therefore you must use source based routing for this to work).

  In other words it allows control of which cards (usually 1) will respond to an
  arp request.

  Example:

  .. code-block:: none

    set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ip disable-arp-filter

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip disable-forwarding

  Configure interface-specific Host/Router behaviour. If set, the interface will
  switch to host mode and IPv6 forwarding will be disabled on this interface.

  .. code-block:: none

    set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ip disable-forwarding

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip enable-directed-broadcast

  Define different modes for IP directed broadcast forwarding as described in
  :rfc:`1812` and :rfc:`2644`.

  If configured, incoming IP directed broadcast packets on this interface will
  be forwarded.

  If this option is unset (default), incoming IP directed broadcast packets
  will not be forwarded.

  .. code-block:: none

    set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ip enable-directed-broadcast

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip enable-arp-accept

  Define behavior for gratuitous ARP frames whose IP is not already present in
  the ARP table. If configured create new entries in the ARP table.

  Both replies and requests type gratuitous arp will trigger the ARP table to be
  updated, if this setting is on.

  If the ARP table already contains the IP address of the gratuitous arp frame,
  the arp table will be updated regardless if this setting is on or off.

  .. code-block:: none

    set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ip enable-arp-accept

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip enable-arp-announce

  Define different restriction levels for announcing the local source IP address
  from IP packets in ARP requests sent on interface.

  Use any local address, configured on any interface if this is not set.

  If configured, try to avoid local addresses that are not in the target's
  subnet for this interface. This mode is useful when target hosts reachable via
  this interface require the source IP address in ARP requests to be part of
  their logical network configured on the receiving interface. When we generate
  the request we will check all our subnets that include the target IP and will
  preserve the source address if it is from such subnet. If there is no such
  subnet we select source address according to the rules for level 2.

  .. code-block:: none

    set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ip enable-arp-announce

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip enable-arp-ignore

  Define different modes for sending replies in response to received ARP
  requests that resolve local target IP addresses:

  If configured, reply only if the target IP address is local address configured
  on the incoming interface.

  If this option is unset (default), reply for any local target IP address,
  configured on any interface.

  .. code-block:: none

    set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ip enable-arp-ignore

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip enable-proxy-arp

  Use this command to enable proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) on this
  interface. Proxy ARP allows an Ethernet interface to respond with its own
  :abbr:`MAC (Media Access Control)` address to ARP requests for destination IP
  addresses on subnets attached to other interfaces on the system. Subsequent
  packets sent to those destination IP addresses are forwarded appropriately by
  the system.

  Example:

  .. code-block:: none

    set interfaces {{ var0 }} {{ var1 }} {{ var2 }} {{ var4 }} {{ var5 }} {{ var7 }} ip enable-proxy-arp

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip proxy-arp-pvlan

  Private VLAN proxy arp. Basically allow proxy arp replies back to the same
  interface (from which the ARP request/solicitation was received).

  This is done to support (ethernet) switch features, like :rfc:`3069`, where
  the individual ports are NOT allowed to communicate with each other, but they
  are allowed to talk to the upstream router. As described in :rfc:`3069`, it is
  possible to allow these hosts to communicate through the upstream router by
  proxy_arp'ing.

  .. note:: Does not need to be used together with proxy_arp.

  This technology is known by different names:

  - In :rfc:`3069` it is called VLAN Aggregation

  - Cisco and Allied Telesyn call it Private VLAN

  - Hewlett-Packard call it Source-Port filtering or port-isolation

  - Ericsson call it MAC-Forced Forwarding (RFC Draft)

.. cfgcmd:: set interfaces {{ var0 }} <interface> {{ var2 }} {{ var3 }}
  {{ var5 }} {{ var6 }} ip source-validation <strict | loose | disable>

  Enable policy for source validation by reversed path, as specified in
  :rfc:`3704`. Current recommended practice in :rfc:`3704` is to enable strict
  mode to prevent IP spoofing from DDos attacks. If using asymmetric routing
  or other complicated routing, then loose mode is recommended.

  - strict: Each incoming packet is tested against the FIB and if the interface
    is not the best reverse path the packet check will fail. By default failed
    packets are discarded.

  - loose: Each incoming packet's source address is also tested against the FIB
    and if the source address is not reachable via any interface the packet
    check will fail.

  - disable: No source validation
