DHCP Snooping IP Source Guard
Overview
IPSG is a security feature that restricts IP traffic on non-routed, Layer 2 interfaces by filtering traffic based on the DHCP snooping binding database. Use IP source guard to prevent traffic attacks if a host tries to use the IP address of its neighbor. Enable IP source guard when DHCP snooping is enabled on an untrusted interface. After IPSG is enabled on an interface, the switch blocks all IP traffic received on the interface except for DHCP packets allowed by DHCP snooping. A port access control list (ACL) is applied to the interface. The port ACL allows only IP traffic with a source IP address in the IP DHCP snooping binding table and denies all other traffic.
