IP Source Guard
– 354 –
IP SOURCE GUARD
IP Source Guard is a security feature that filters IP traffic on network
interfaces based on manually configured entries in the IP Source Guard
table, or dynamic entries in the DHCP Snooping table when enabled (see
"DHCP Snooping" on page 359). IP source guard can be used to prevent
traffic attacks caused when a host tries to use the IP address of a neighbor
to access the network. This section describes commands used to configure
IP Source Guard.
CONFIGURING PORTS
FOR IP SOURCE
GUARD
Use the Security > IP Source Guard > Port Configuration page to set the
filtering type based on source IP address, or source IP address and MAC
address pairs.
IP Source Guard is used to filter traffic on an insecure port which receives
messages from outside the network or fire wall, and therefore may be
subject to traffic attacks caused by a host trying to use the IP address of a
neighbor.

COMMAND USAGE
Setting source guard mode to SIP (Source IP) or SIP-MAC (Source IP
and MAC) enables this function on the selected port. Use the SIP option
to check the VLAN ID, source IP address, and port number against all
entries in the binding table. Use the SIP-MAC option to check these
same parameters, plus the source MAC address. If no matching entry is
found, the packet is dropped.
N
OTE
:
Multicast addresses cannot be used by IP Source Guard.
When enabled, traffic is filtered based upon dynamic entries learned via
DHCP snooping (see "DHCP Snooping" on page 359), or static
addresses configured in the source guard binding table.
If IP source guard is enabled, an inbound packet’s IP address (SIP
option) or both its IP address and corresponding MAC address (SIP-
MAC option) will be checked against the binding table. If no matching
entry is found, the packet will be dropped.
Filtering rules are implemented as follows:
If DHCP snooping is disabled (see page 362), IP source guard will
check the VLAN ID, source IP address, port number, and source
MAC address (for the SIP-MAC option). If a matching entry is found
in the binding table and the entry type is static IP source guard
binding, the packet will be forwarded.
