Many USG Flex 50W 5.35/36 connected via L2 VPN via VTI interface vpn_l2

On device many message about ARP attack from 1 device.

Possible ARP spoofing attack on IP 172.21.164.100. Current hardware address is bc:99:11:a7:7e:cf. But…

Interfaces on problem Flex:

Why devices got messages about ARP from interface with mac, that: disabled, not visible to them.

    Hi @alexey

    Thanks for your inquiry.
    Could you share the screenshots of the ARP attack Monitor Log message with us?
    Are VPN_I2 and vpn_l3 all Zyxel firewall devices?
    Do you configure the connectivity check on this VPN tunnel on both sites?
    Thanks.

    Hi.

    1 i can't share screenshot, i can share messages about ARP attack from central syslog server

    zw_arp.txt

    2 All Zyxell firewall devices. vpn_l3 & vpn_l2 interfaces on problem ZW device. All devices connected via vpn_l2 interface, its ISP L2 VPN. In logs, ARP goes from vpn_l3 mac, that disabled & don't connect to other ZW.

    3 Yes, VTI interface has configured CC. Each VTI has own /30 subnet.

    @Zyxel_Jeff both interfaces are internal. CC can't be configured.

    Hi @alexey

    Could you enable Nebula Zyxel support for us and tell us your org and site name by private message? Thanks.

    Dear @alexey

    Please apologize for my misunderstanding, the CC that you mentioned means connectivity check, not Nebula Controller Center. The ARP attack could be caused by a connectivity check because the remote peer VPN site's connectivity check packets and those packets were detected by the USG Flex 50W. Could you disable connectivity check features on USG50W and the peer site device to see whether ARP attack messages would be shown? If the symptom still occurs, please share your device's Web-GUI link with us for further checking. Thanks.

    My bad. I forgot that CC can be enabled on internal interfaces, and it status not displayed via show interface command. I disabled CC on interfaces and still wait new error messages.

    Not help. I disable CC on ge2 & 3 interface

    show connectivity-check status
    Interface Status Fail Count

    cellular1 Ok 0
    vti1 Ok 0
    vti3 Failed 2
    vti4 Ok 0
    vti0 Ok 0
    vti2 Ok 0
    vti5 Ok 0

    VTI interface, that build via this interface ge2 in failed status.

    Also change error message

    Possible ARP spoofing attack on IP 10.0.1.64.
