IP Source Guard Overview

By filtering packets on a per-port basis, IP source guard prevents packets with illegal IP addresses and
MAC addresses from traveling through, improving the network security. After receiving a packet, the
port looks up the key attributes (including IP address, MAC address and VLAN tag) of the packet in the
binding entries of the IP source guard. If there is a matching entry, the port will forward the packet.
Otherwise, the port will abandon the packet.

IP source guard filters packets based on the following types of binding entries:

z

IP-port binding entry

z

MAC-port binding entry

z

IP-MAC-port binding entry

You can manually set static binding entries, or use DHCP Snooping to provide dynamic binding entries.
Binding is on a per-port basis. After a binding entry is configured on a port, it is effective only to the port,
instead of other ports.

IP source guard and aggregation group configuration are mutually exclusive.
