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.

Setting source guard mode to “sip” or “sip-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. Use the no ip source guard command to disable

this function on the selected port.

When enabled, traffic is filtered based upon dynamic entries learned via

DHCP snooping, or static addresses configured in the source guard

binding table.

Table entries include a MAC address, IP address, lease time, entry type

(Static-IP-SG-Binding, Dynamic-DHCP-Binding, VLAN identifier, and

port identifier.

Static addresses entered in the source guard binding table with the

ip

source-guard binding

command (

page 669

) are automatically

configured with an infinite lease time. Dynamic entries learned via

DHCP snooping are configured by the DHCP server itself.

If the 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 661

), 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.

If the DHCP snooping is enabled, 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, or

dynamic DHCP snooping binding, the packet will be forwarded.

If IP source guard if enabled on an interface for which IP source

bindings (dynamically learned via DHCP snooping or manually

configured) are not yet configured, the switch will drop all IP traffic

on that port, except for DHCP packets.

Only unicast addresses are accepted for static bindings.
