IPv4 Source Guard
IPv4 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 “DHCPv4 Snooping” on
page 368). IPv4 source guard can be used to prevent traffic attacks caused when a
host tries to use the IPv4 address of a neighbor to access the network. This section
describes how to configure IPv4 Source Guard.
Configuring Ports for
IPv4 Source Guard
Use the Security > IP Source Guard > Port Configuration page to set the filtering
type based on source IPv4 address, or source IPv4 address and MAC address pairs. It
also specifies lookup within the ACL binding table or the MAC address binding
table, as well as the maximum number of allowed binding entries for the lookup
tables.
IPv4 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 IPv4 address of a neighbor.
Command Usage
Filter Type
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.
