Configuring the IP/MAC Binding to Prevent Spoofing
The IP/MAC binding feature allows the traffic only when the host has an IP address
that matches up with a specified MAC address. By requiring the gateway to
validate the source traffic’s IP address with the unique MAC address of device,
please ensure that traffic from the specified IP address is not spoofed. If a violation

having the same IP address) occurs, the packets will be dropped and can be
logged for diagnosis.
