IP source guard configuration
IP Source Guard is a secure feature used to restrict IP traffic on DHCP snooping
untrusted ports by filtering traffic based on the DHCP Snooping Table or manually
configured IP Source Bindings. It helps prevent IP spoofing attacks when a host tries to
spoof and use the IP address of another host.
After receiving a packet, the port looks up the key attributes (including IP address, MAC
address, and VLAN tag) of the packet in the binding entries of the IP source guard. If
there is a matching entry, the port will forward the packet. Otherwise, the port will
abandon the packet.
IP source guard filter packets are based on the following types of binding entries:
• IP-port binding entry
• MAC-port binding entry
• IP-MAC-port binding entry
The IP Source Guard port setting page provides IP Source Guard-related configuration
data.
