75.7 IPv6 Source Guard
The purpose of IPv6 source guard is to distinguish between authorized and unauthorized users by using a
binding table that validates the source of IPv6 traffic. The binding table can be manually created or be
learned through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6 snooping (DHCPv6 snooping). IPv6
source guard can deny IPv6 traffic from an unknown source. The IPv6 source guard binding table
includes:
• IPv6 address
• IPv6 prefix
• VLAN ID
• Port number
• MAC address
Enable IPv6 source guard on a port for the Switch to check incoming IPv6 packets on that port. A
packet is allowed when it matches any entry in the IPSG binding table. If a user tries to send IPv6 packets
to the Switch that do not match an entry in the IPSG binding table, the Switch will drop these packets.
The Switch forwards matching traffic normally. The IPv6 source guard related screens are available in
standalone mode.
