Configuring IP source guard Overview IP source guard is a security feature. It is usually configured on a user access interface to help prevent spoofing attacks, in which an attacker uses, for example, the IP address of a valid host, to access the network. As shown in Figure 56, after you configure IP source guard on an interface, the interface filters received packets according to the IP source guard binding entries, and forwards only the packets that matches one of the entries. Figure 56 Diagram for the IP source guard function Valid host 1.1.1.1 Binding entries 1.1.1.1 ... IP network Invalid host Configure the IP source guard function on the interface IP source guard can filter packets according to the packet source IP address and source MAC address. It supports these types of binding entries: • IP-interface binding entry • IP-MAC-interface binding entry • IP-VLAN-interface binding entry • IP-MAC-VLAN-interface binding entry A binding entry for IP source guard can be statically configured or dynamically added. NOTE: IP source guard is a per-interface packet filter. The IP source guard function configured on one interface does not affect packet forwarding on another interface. Static IP source guard binding entries Static binding entries are configured manually. They are suitable for scenarios where few hosts exist on a LAN and their IP addresses are manually configured. For example, you can configure a static binding entry on an interface that connects a server, allowing the interface to receive packets only from the server. IP source guard use static IPv4 binding entries on an interface to filter IPv4 packets received by the interface or cooperate with the ARP detection feature to check user validity. IP source guard use static IPv6 binding entries on an interface to filter IPv6 packets received by the interface. 161

Configuring IP source guard
Overview
IP source guard is a security feature. It is usually configured on a user access interface to help prevent
spoofing attacks, in which an attacker uses, for example, the IP address of a valid host, to access the
network.
As shown in
Figure 56
, after you configure IP source guard on an interface, the interface filters received
packets according to the IP source guard binding entries, and forwards only the packets that matches
one of the entries.
Figure 56
Diagram for the IP source guard function
IP source guard can filter packets according to the packet source IP address and source MAC address.
It supports these types of binding entries:
IP-interface binding entry
IP-MAC-interface binding entry
IP-VLAN-interface binding entry
IP-MAC-VLAN-interface binding entry
A binding entry for IP source guard can be statically configured or dynamically added.
NOTE:
IP source guard is a per-interface packet filter. The IP source guard function configured on one interface
does not affect packet forwarding on another interface.
Static IP source guard binding entries
Static binding entries are configured manually. They are suitable for scenarios where few hosts exist on
a LAN and their IP addresses are manually configured. For example, you can configure a static binding
entry on an interface that connects a server, allowing the interface to receive packets only from the server.
IP source guard use static IPv4 binding entries on an interface to filter IPv4 packets received by the
interface or cooperate with the ARP detection feature to check user validity. IP source guard use static
IPv6 binding entries on an interface to filter IPv6 packets received by the interface.
