Configuring IP Source Guard
IP Source Guard (IPSG) is a security feature that restricts IP traffic on nonrouted, Layer 2 interfaces by

Information About IP Source Guard
IP Source Guard
You can use IP source guard to prevent traffic attacks if a host tries to use the IP address of its neighbor and
you can enable IP source guard when DHCP snooping is enabled on an untrusted interface.
After IPSG is enabled on an interface, the switch blocks all IP traffic received on the interface except for
DHCP packets allowed by DHCP snooping.
