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

"Configuring DHCP Snooping"

). 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.

Use the IP Source Guard Configuration page 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. IP Source Guard filters traffic type based on

the source IP address and MAC address pairs found in the DHCP Snooping

table, or based upon static entries configured in the IP Source Guard Table.

When IP Source Guard is enabled globally and on a port, the switch

checks the VLAN ID, source IP address, and port number against all

entries in the DHCP Snooping binding table and IP Source Guard Static

Table. If no matching entry is found, the packet is dropped.
