Overview of DHCP Snooping

DHCP snooping is a DHCP security feature that provides security by filtering untrusted DHCP messages and by building and maintaining a DHCP snooping binding table. An untrusted message is a message that is received from outside the network or firewall and that can cause traffic attacks within your network.

The DHCP snooping binding table contains the MAC address, IP address, lease time, binding type, VLAN number, and interface information that corresponds to the local untrusted interfaces of a switch; it does not contain information regarding hosts interconnected with a trusted interface. An untrusted interface is an interface that is configured to receive messages from outside the network or firewall. A trusted interface is an interface that is configured to receive only messages from within the network.

DHCP snooping acts like a firewall between untrusted hosts and DHCP servers. It also gives you a way to differentiate between untrusted interfaces connected to the end-user and trusted interfaces connected to the DHCP server or another switch.

Note In order to enable DHCP snooping on a VLAN, you must enable DHCP snooping on the switch.

You can configure DHCP snooping for switches and VLANs. When you enable DHCP snooping on a switch, the interface acts as a Layer 2 bridge, intercepting and safeguarding DHCP messages going to a Layer 2 VLAN. When you enable DHCP snooping on a VLAN, the switch acts as a Layer 2 bridge within a VLAN domain.

Topics include:

•Trusted and Untrusted Sources

•Overview of the DHCP Snooping Database Agent

•Option-82 Data Insertion

Trusted and Untrusted Sources

The DHCP snooping feature determines whether traffic sources are trusted or untrusted. An untrusted source may initiate traffic attacks or other hostile actions. To prevent such attacks, the DHCP snooping feature filters messages and rate-limits traffic from untrusted sources.

In an enterprise network, devices under your administrative control are trusted sources. These devices include the switches, routers and servers in your network. Any device beyond the firewall or outside your network is an untrusted source. Host ports are generally treated as untrusted sources.

In a service provider environment, any device that is not in the service provider network is an untrusted source (such as a customer switch). Host ports are untrusted sources.

In the Catalyst 4500 series switch, you indicate that a source is trusted by configuring the trust state of its connecting interface.

The default trust state of all interfaces is untrusted. You must configure DHCP server interfaces as trusted. You can also configure other interfaces as trusted if they connect to devices (such as switches or routers) inside your network. You usually do not configure host port interfaces as trusted.

Note For DHCP snooping to function properly, all DHCP servers must be connected to the switch through trusted interfaces, as untrusted DHCP messages will be forwarded only to trusted interfaces.

Overview of the DHCP Snooping Database Agent

To retain the bindings across switch reloads, you must use the DHCP snooping database agent. Without this agent, the bindings established by DHCP snooping are lost upon switch reload. Connectivity is lost as well.

The mechanism for the database agent stores the bindings in a file at a configured location. Upon reload, the switch reads the file to build the database for the bindings. The switch keeps the file current by writing to the file as the database changes.

The format of the file that contains the bindings is as follows: 

<initial-checksum>

TYPE DHCP-SNOOPING

VERSION 1

BEGIN

<entry-1> <checksum-1>

<entry-2> <checksum-1-2>

...

...

<entry-n> <checksum-1-2-..-n>

END

Each entry in the file is tagged with a checksum that is used to validate the entries whenever the file is read. The <initial-checksum> entry on the first line helps distinguish entries associated with the latest write from entries that are associated with a previous write.

This is a sample bindings file: 

3ebe1518

TYPE DHCP-SNOOPING

VERSION 1

BEGIN

1.1.1.1 512 0001.0001.0005 3EBE2881 Gi1/1                                e5e1e733

1.1.1.1 512 0001.0001.0002 3EBE2881 Gi1/1                                4b3486ec

1.1.1.1 1536 0001.0001.0004 3EBE2881 Gi1/1                               f0e02872

1.1.1.1 1024 0001.0001.0003 3EBE2881 Gi1/1                               ac41adf9

1.1.1.1 1 0001.0001.0001 3EBE2881 Gi1/1                                  34b3273e

END

Each entry holds an IP address, VLAN, MAC address, lease time (in hex), and the interface associated with a binding. At the end of each entry is a checksum that accounts for all the bytes from the start of the file through all the bytes associated with the entry. Each entry consists of 72 bytes of data, followed by a space, followed by a checksum.

Upon bootup, when the calculated checksum equals the stored checksum, a switch reads entries from the file and adds the bindings to the DHCP snooping database. When the calculated checksum does not equal the stored checksum, the entry read from the file is ignored and so are all the entries following the failed entry. The switch also ignores all those entries from the file whose lease time has expired. (This situation is possible because the lease time might indicate an expired time.) An entry from the file is also ignored if the interface referred to in the entry, no longer exists on the system or if it is a router port or a DHCP snooping-trusted interface.

When a switch learns of new bindings or when it loses some bindings, the switch writes the modified set of entries from the snooping database to the file. The writes are performed with a configurable delay to batch as many changes as possible before the actual write happens. Associated with each transfer is a timeout after which a transfer is aborted if it is not completed. These timers are referred to as the write delay and abort timeout.

Option-82 Data Insertion

In residential, metropolitan Ethernet-access environments, DHCP can centrally manage the IP address assignments for a large number of subscribers. When the DHCP option-82 feature is enabled on the switch, a subscriber device is identified by the switch port through which it connects to the network (in addition to its MAC address). Multiple hosts on the subscriber LAN can be connected to the same port on the access switch and are uniquely identified.

Note The DHCP option-82 feature is supported only when DHCP snooping is globally enabled and on the VLANs to which subscriber devices using this feature are assigned.

Figure 37-1 is an example of a metropolitan Ethernet network in which a centralized DHCP server assigns IP addresses to subscribers connected to the switch at the access layer. Because the DHCP clients and their associated DHCP server do not reside on the same IP network or subnet, a DHCP relay agent (the Catalyst switch) is configured with a helper address to enable broadcast forwarding and to transfer DHCP messages between the clients and the server.

Figure 37-1 DHCP Relay Agent in a Metropolitan Ethernet Network

When you enable the DHCP snooping information option 82 on the switch, this sequence of events occurs:

•The host (DHCP client) generates a DHCP request and broadcasts it on the network.

•When the switch receives the DHCP request, it adds the option-82 information in the packet. By default, theThe remote-ID suboption is the switch MAC address, and the circuit-ID suboption is the port identifier, vlan-mod-port, from which the packet is received. Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 12.2(40)SG, you can configure the remote ID and circuit ID. For information on configuring these suboptions, see the "Enabling DHCP Snooping and Option 82" section.

•If the IP address of the relay agent is configured, the switch adds this IP address in the DHCP packet.

•The switch forwards the DHCP request that includes the option-82 field to the DHCP server.

•The DHCP server receives the packet. If the server is option-82-capable, it can use the remote ID, the circuit ID, or both to assign IP addresses and implement policies, such as restricting the number of IP addresses that can be assigned to a single remote ID or circuit ID. Then the DHCP server echoes the option-82 field in the DHCP reply.

•The DHCP server unicasts the reply to the switch if the request was relayed to the server by the switch. The switch verifies that it originally inserted the option-82 data by inspecting the remote ID and possibly the circuit ID fields. The switch removes the option-82 field and forwards the packet to the switch port that connects to the DHCP client that sent the DHCP request.

In the default suboption configuration, whenWhen the described sequence of events occurs, the values in these fields in Figure 37-2 do not change:

•Circuit-ID suboption fields

–Suboption type

–Length of the suboption type

–Circuit-ID type

–Length of the circuit-ID type

•Remote-ID suboption fields

–Suboption type

–Length of the suboption type

–Remote-ID type

–Length of the remote-ID type

Figure 37-2 shows the packet formats for the remote-ID suboption and the circuit-ID suboption when the default suboption configuration is used. For the circuit-ID suboption, the module number corresponds to the switch module number. The switch uses the packet formats when you globally enable DHCP snooping and enter the ip dhcp snooping information option global configuration command.

Figure 37-2 Suboption Packet Formats

Figure 37-3 shows the packet formats for user-configured remote-ID and circuit-ID suboptions The switch uses these packet formats when DHCP snooping is globally enabled and when the ip dhcp snooping information option format remote-id global configuration command and the ip dhcp snooping vlan information option format-type circuit-id string interface configuration command are entered.

The values for these fields in the packets change from the default values when you configure the remote-ID and circuit-ID suboptions:

•Circuit-ID suboption fields

–The circuit-ID type is 1.

–The length values are variable, depending on the length of the string that you configure.

•Remote-ID suboption fields

–The remote-ID type is 1.

–The length values are variable, depending on the length of the string that you configure.

Configuring DHCP Snooping on the Switch

When you configure DHCP snooping on your switch, you are enabling the switch to differentiate untrusted interfaces from trusted interfaces. You must enable DHCP snooping globally before you can use DHCP snooping on a VLAN. You can enable DHCP snooping independently from other DHCP features.

Once you have enabled DHCP snooping, all the DHCP relay information option configuration commands are disabled; this includes the following commands:

•ip dhcp relay information check

•ip dhcp relay information policy

•ip dhcp relay information trusted

•ip dhcp relay information trust-all

These sections describe how to configure DHCP snooping:

•Default Configuration for DHCP Snooping

•Enabling DHCP Snooping

•Enabling DHCP Snooping on the Aggregration Switch

•Enabling DHCP Snooping and Option 82

•Enabling DHCP Snooping on Private VLAN

•Configuring DHCP Snooping on Private VLAN

•Enabling the DHCP Snooping Database Agent

Enabling DHCP Snooping

Note When DHCP snooping is enabled globally, DHCP requests are dropped until the ports are configured. Consequently, you should probably configure this feature during a maintenance window and not during production.

To enable DHCP snooping, perform this task:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping

Enables DHCP snooping globally.

You can use the no keyword to disable DHCP snooping.

Step 2  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan number 
[number] | vlan {vlan range}]

Enables DHCP snooping on your VLAN or VLAN range

Step 3  

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping trust

Configures the interface as trusted or untrusted.

You can use the no keyword to configure an interface to receive messages from an untrusted client.

Step 4  

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping limit rate 
rate

Configures the number of DHCP packets per second (pps) that an interface can receive.1

Step 5  

Switch(config)# end

Exits configuration mode.

Step 6  

Switch# show ip dhcp snooping

Verifies the configuration.

1 Cisco recommends not configuring the untrusted interface rate limit to more than 100 packets per second. The recommended rate limit for each untrusted client is 15 packets per second. Normally, the rate limit applies to untrusted interfaces. If you want to set up rate limiting for trusted interfaces, keep in mind that trusted interfaces aggregate all DHCP traffic in the switch, and you will need to adjust the rate limit to a higher value. You should fine tune this threshold depending on the network configuration. The CPU should not receive DHCP packets at a sustained rate of more than 1,000 packets per second

You can configure DHCP snooping for a single VLAN or a range of VLANs. To configure a single VLAN, enter a single VLAN number. To configure a range of VLANs, enter a beginning and an ending VLAN number or a dash and range of VLANs.

This example shows how to enable DHCP Snooping on Vlan 500 through 555: 

Switch# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan 500 555

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping information option format remote-id string switch123

Switch(config)# interface GigabitEthernet 5/1

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping trust

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping limit rate 100

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping vlan 555 information option format-type circuit-id 
string customer-555

Switch(config-if)# interface FastEthernet 2/1

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping vlan 555 information option format-type circuit-id 
string customer-500

Switch(config)# end

Switch# show ip dhcp snooping

Switch DHCP snooping is enabled

DHCP snooping is configured on following VLANs: 

500,555

DHCP snooping is operational on following VLANs: 

500,555

DHCP snooping is configured on the following L3 Interfaces:

Switch#

The following configuration describes the DHCP snooping configuration steps if routing is defined on another Catalyst switch (for example, a Catalyst 6500 series switch): 

// Trust the uplink gigabit Ethernet trunk port


interface range GigabitEthernet 1/1 - 2

switchport mode trunk

switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

ip dhcp snooping trust


! 


interface VLAN 14

ip address 10.33.234.1 255.255.254.0

ip helper-address 10.5.1.2

Note If you are enabling trunking on uplink gigabit interfaces, and the above routing configuration is defined on a Catalyst 6500 series switch, you must configure the "trust" relationship with downstream DHCP Snooping (on a Catalyst 4500 series switch) which adds Option 82. On a Catalyst 6500 series switch, this task is accomplished with ip dhcp relay information trusted VLAN configuration command.

Enabling DHCP Snooping on the Aggregration Switch

To enable DHCP Snooping on an aggregation switch, configure the interface connecting to a downstream switch as a snooping untrusted port. If the downstream switch (or a device such as a DSLAM in the path between the aggregation switch and the DHCP clients) adds DHCP information option 82 to the DHCP packets, the DHCP packets would be dropped on arriving on a snooping untrusted port. Configuring the ip dhcp snooping information option allow-untrusted global configuration command on the aggregation switch would allow the aggregation switch to accept DHCP requests with option 82 information from any snooping untrusted port.

Enabling DHCP Snooping and Option 82

To enable DHCP snooping and Option 82 on the switch, perform the following steps:

  
Command
Purpose

Step 1  

Switch# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode.

Step 2  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping

Enables DHCP snooping globally.

Step 3  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping 
vlan vlan-range

Enables DHCP snooping on a VLAN or range of VLANs. The range is 1 to 4094.

You can enter a single VLAN ID identified by VLAN ID number, a series of VLAN IDs separated by commas, a range of VLAN IDs separated by hyphens, or a range of VLAN IDs separated by entering the starting and ending VLAN IDs separated by a space.

Step 4  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping 
information option

Enables the switch to insert and remove DHCP relay information (option-82 field) in forwarded DHCP request messages to the DHCP server. This is the default setting.

Step 5  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping 
information option format remote-id 
[string ASCII-string | hostname]

(Optional) Configures the remote-ID suboption.

You can configure the remote ID to be:

•String of up to 63 ASCII characters (no spaces)

•Configured hostname for the switch

Note If the hostname is longer than 63 characters, it is truncated to 63 characters in the remote-ID configuration.

The default remote ID is the switch MAC address.

Step 6  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping 
information option allow-untrusted

(Optional) If the switch is an aggregation switch connected to an edge switch, enables the switch to accept incoming DHCP snooping packets with option-82 information from the edge switch.

The default setting is disabled.

Note Enter this command only on aggregation switches that are connected to trusted devices.

Step 7  

Switch(config)# interface 
interface-id

Specifies the interface to be configured, and enter interface configuration mode.

Step 8  

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping 
vlan vlan information option 
format-type circuit-id string 
ASCII-string

(Optional) Configures the circuit-ID suboption for the specified interface.

Specify the VLAN and port identifier, using a VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4094. The default circuit ID is the port identifier, in the format vlan-mod-port.

You can configure the circuit ID to be a string of 3 to 63 ASCII characters (no spaces).

Step 9  

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping 
trust

(Optional) Configures the interface as trusted or untrusted. You can use the no keyword to configure an interface to receive messages from an untrusted client. The default setting is untrusted.

Step 10  

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping 
limit rate rate

(Optional) Configures the number of DHCP packets per second that an interface can receive. The range is 1 to 2048. By default, no rate limit is configured.

Note We recommend an untrusted rate limit of not more than 100 packets per second. If you configure rate limiting for trusted interfaces, you might need to increase the rate limit if the port is a trunk port assigned to more than one VLAN on which DHCP snooping is enabled.

Step 11  

Switch(config-if)# exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

Step 12  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping 
verify mac-address

(Optional) Configures the switch to verify that the source MAC address in a DHCP packet that is received on untrusted ports matches the client hardware address in the packet. The default is to verify that the source MAC address matches the client hardware address in the packet.

Step 13  

Switch(config)# end

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 14  

Switch# show running-config

Verifies your entries.

Step 15  

Switch# copy running-config 
startup-config

(Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.

To disable DHCP snooping, use the no ip dhcp snooping global configuration command. To disable DHCP snooping on a VLAN or range of VLANs, use the no ip dhcp snooping vlan vlan-range global configuration command. To disable the insertion and removal of the option-82 field, use the no ip dhcp snooping information option global configuration command. To configure an aggregation switch to drop incoming DHCP snooping packets with option-82 information from an edge switch, use the no ip dhcp snooping information option allow-untrusted global configuration command.

This example shows how to enable DHCP snooping globally and on VLAN 10 and to configure a rate limit of 100 packets per second on a port: 

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan 10

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping information option

Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet2/0/1

Switch(config-if)# ip dhcp snooping limit rate 100

Enabling DHCP Snooping on Private VLAN

DHCP snooping can be enabled on private VLANs, which provide isolation between Layer 2 ports within the same VLAN. If DHCP snooping is enabled (or disabled), the configuration is propagated to both the primary VLAN and its associated secondary VLANs. You cannot enable (or disable) DHCP snooping on a primary VLAN without reflecting this configuration change on the secondary VLANs.

Configuring DHCP snooping on a secondary VLAN is still allowed, but it does not take effect if the associated primary VLAN is already configured. If the associated primary VLAN is configured, the effective DHCP snooping mode on the secondary VLAN is derived from the corresponding primary VLAN. Manually configuring DHCP snooping on a secondary VLAN causes the switch to issue this warning message: 

DHCP Snooping configuration may not take effect on secondary vlan XXX

The show ip dhcp snooping command displays all VLANs (both primary and secondary) that have DHCP snooping enabled.

Configuring DHCP Snooping on Private VLAN

DHCP snooping, IPSG, and DAI are Layer 2 based security features that can be enabled and disabled on an individual VLAN, including auxillary/voice VLAN. This means that you need to enable DHCP snooping on a voice VLAN for a Cisco IP phone to function properly.

Enabling the DHCP Snooping Database Agent

To configure the database agent, perform one or more of the following tasks:

Command
Purpose 
Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping database { url | 
write-delay seconds | timeout seconds }


Switch(config)# no ip dhcp snooping database 
[write-delay | timeout]

(Required) Configures a URL for the database agent (or file) and the related timeout values. 

Switch# show ip dhcp snooping database [detail]

(Optional) Displays the current operating state of the database agent and statistics associated with the transfers. 

Switch# clear ip dhcp snooping database statistics

(Optional) Clears the statistics associated with the database agent. 

Switch# renew ip dhcp snooping database [validation 
none] [url]

(Optional) Requests the read entries from a file at the given URL. 

Switch# ip dhcp snooping binding mac-addr vlan vlan 
ipaddr interface ifname expiry lease-in-seconds


Switch# no ip dhcp snooping binding mac-addr vlan 
vlan ipaddr interface ifname

(Optional) Adds/deletes bindings to the snooping database.

Note Because both NVRAM and bootflash have limited storage capacity, you should use TFTP or network-based files. If you use flash to store the database file, new updates (by the agent) result in the creation of new files (flash fills quickly). Moreover, due to the nature of the filesystem used on the flash, a large number of files can cause slow access. When a file is stored in a remote location accessible through TFTP, an RPR/SSO standby supervisor engine can take over the binding list when a switchover occurs.

Note Network-based URLs (such as TFTP and FTP) require that you create an empty file at the configured URL before the switch can write the set of bindings for the first time.

Configuration Examples for the Database Agent

The following examples show how to use the above commands.

Example 1: Enabling the Database Agent

The following example shows how to configure the DHCP snooping database agent to store the bindings at a given location and to view the configuration and operating state: 

Switch# configure terminal

Switch#

The first three lines of output show the configured URL and related timer configuration values. The next three lines show the operating state and the amount of time left for expiry of write delay and abort timers.

Among the statistics shown in the output, startup failures indicate the number of attempts the read or create of the file has failed upon bootup.

Note Because the location is based off in the network, you must create a temporary file on the TFTP server. You can create a temporary file on a typical UNIX workstation by creating a 0 byte file "file" in the directory "directory" that can be referenced by the TFTP server daemon. With some server implementations on UNIX workstations, the file should be provided with full (777) permissions for write access to the file.

DHCP snooping bindings are keyed on the MAC address and VLAN combination. Therefore, if an entry in the remote file has an entry for a given MAC address and VLAN set, for which the switch already has a binding, the entry from the remote file is ignored when the file is read. This condition is referred to as the binding collision.

An entry in a file may no longer be valid because the lease indicated by the entry may have expired by the time it is read. The expired leases counter indicates the number of bindings ignored because of this condition. The Invalid interfaces counter refers to the number of bindings that have been ignored when the interface referred by the entry either does not exist on the system or is a router or DHCP snooping trusted interface if it exists, when the read happened. Unsupported VLANs refers to the number of entries that have been ignored because the indicated VLAN is not supported on the system. The Parse failures counter provides the number of entries that have been ignored when the switch is unable to interpret the meaning of the entries from the file.

The switch maintains two sets of counters for these ignored bindings. One provides the counters for a read that has at least one binding ignored by at least one of these conditions. These counters are shown as the "Last ignored bindings counters." The total ignored bindings counters provides a sum of the number of bindings that have been ignored because of all the reads since the switch bootup. These two set of counters are cleared by the clear command. Therefore, the total counter set may indicate the number of bindings that have been ignored since the last clear.

Example 2: Reading Binding Entries from a TFTP File

To manually read the entries from a TFTP file, perform this task:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1  

Switch# show ip dhcp snooping database

Displays the DHCP snooping database agent statistics.

Step 2  

Switch# renew ip dhcp snoop data url

Directs the switch to read the file from given URL.

Step 3  

Switch# show ip dhcp snoop data

Displays the read status.

Step 4  

Switch# show ip dhcp snoop bind

Displaying DHCP Snooping Information

You can display a DHCP snooping binding table and configuration information for all interfaces on a switch.

Displaying a Binding Table

The DHCP snooping binding table for each switch contains binding entries that correspond to untrusted ports. The table does not contain information about hosts interconnected with a trusted port because each interconnected switch has its own DHCP snooping binding table.

This example shows how to display the DHCP snooping binding information for a switch:

Overview of IP Source Guard

Similar to DHCP snooping, this feature is enabled on a DHCP snooping untrusted Layer 2 port. Initially, all IP traffic on the port is blocked except for DHCP packets that are captured by the DHCP snooping process. When a client receives a valid IP address from the DHCP server, or when a static IP source binding is configured by the user, a per-port and VLAN Access Control List (PVACL) is installed on the port. This process restricts the client IP traffic to those source IP addresses configured in the binding; any IP traffic with a source IP address other than that in the IP source binding is filtered out. This filtering limits a host's ability to attack the network by claiming a neighbor host's IP address.

Note If IP Source Guard is enabled on a trunk port with a large number of VLANs that have DHCP snooping enabled, you might run out of ACL hardware resources, and some packets might be switched in software instead.

Note When IP Source Guard is enabled, you might want to designate an alternative scheme for ACL hardware programming. For more information, see the "TCAM Programming and ACLs" section in the "Configuring Network Security with ACLs" chapter.

Note TCAM resources are not consumed when the interface is in a down state.

IP Source Guard supports the Layer 2 port only, including both access and trunk. For each untrusted Layer 2 port, there are two levels of IP traffic security filtering:

•Source IP address filter

IP traffic is filtered based on its source IP address. Only IP traffic with a source IP address that matches the IP source binding entry is permitted.

An IP source address filter is changed when a new IP source entry binding is created or deleted on the port. The port PVACL is recalculated and reapplied in the hardware to reflect the IP source binding change. By default, if the IP filter is enabled without any IP source binding on the port, a default PVACL that denies all IP traffic is installed on the port. Similarly, when the IP filter is disabled, any IP source filter PVACL is removed from the interface.

•Source IP and MAC address filter

IP traffic is filtered based on its source IP address as well as its MAC address; only IP traffic with source IP and MAC addresses matching the IP source binding entry are permitted.

Note When IP source guard is enabled in IP and MAC filtering mode, the DHCP snooping option 82 must be enabled to ensure that the DHCP protocol works properly. Without option 82 data, the switch cannot locate the client host port to forward the DHCP server reply. Instead, the DHCP server reply is dropped, and the client cannot obtain an IP address.

Configuring IP Source Guard on the Switch

To enable IP Source Guard, perform this task:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping

Enables DHCP snooping globally.

You can use the no keyword to disable DHCP snooping.

Step 2  

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan number 
[number]

Enables DHCP snooping on your VLANs.

Step 3  

Switch(config-if)# no ip dhcp snooping trust

Configures the interface as trusted or untrusted.

You can use the no keyword of to configure an interface to receive only messages from within the network.

Step 4  

Switch(config-if)# ip verify source vlan 
dhcp-snooping port-security

Enables IP source guard, source IP, and source MAC address filtering on the port.

Step 5  

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security limit 
rate invalid-source-mac N

Enables security rate limiting for learned source MAC addresses on the port.

Note This limit only applies to the port where IP Source Guard is enabled as filtering both IP and MAC addresses.

Step 6  

Switch(config)# ip source binding mac-address 
Vlan vlan-id ip-address interface interface-name

Configures a static IP binding on the port.

Step 7  

Switch(config)# end

Exits configuration mode.

Step 8  

Switch# show ip verify source interface 
interface-name

Verifies the configuration.

If you want to stop IP Source Guard with Static Hosts on an interface, use the following commands in interface configuration submode: 

Switch(config-if)# no ip verify source

Switch(config-if)# no ip device tracking max"

If "no ip device tracking" is used in the interface configuration submode, this command will be interpreted and run in the global configuration mode in fact and it causes IP device tracking to be disabled globally. For all the interfaces with the following command - "ip verify source tracking [port-security]", disabling IP device tracking globally will cause the IP Source Guard with Static Hosts denies all the IP traffic from those interfaces.

Note The static IP source binding can only be configured on switch port. If you issue the
ip source binding vlan interface command on a Layer 3 port, you receive this error message: Static IP source binding can only be configured on switch port.

This example shows how to enable per-Layer 2-port IP source guard on VLANs 10 through 20: 

Switch# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping

Switch(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan 10 20

Switch(config)# interface fa6/1

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode trunk

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk native vlan 10

Switch(config-if)# switchport trunk allowed vlan 11-20

Switch(config-if)# no ip dhcp snooping trust

Switch(config-if)# ip verify source vlan dhcp-snooping

Switch(config)# end

Switch# show ip verify source interface f6/1

Switch#

The output shows that there is one valid DHCP binding to VLAN 10.

Configuring IP Source Guard on Private VLANs

For private VLAN ports, you must enable DHCP snooping on primary VLANs in order for IP source guard to be effective. IP source guard on a primary VLAN is automatically propagate to a secondary VLAN. Configuring a static IP source binding on a secondary VLAN is allowed, but it does not take effect. When manually configuring a static IP source binding on a secondary VLAN, you receive the following warning:

Warning IP source filter may not take effect on secondary vlan where IP source binding is configured. If private vlan feature is enabled, IP source filter on primary vlan will automatically propagate to all secondary vlans.

Displaying IP Source Guard Information

You can display IP Source Guard PVACL information for all interfaces on a switch using the
show ip verify source command.

•This example shows displayed PVACLs if DHCP snooping is enabled on VLAN 10 through 20, if interface fa6/1 is configured for IP filtering, and if there is an existing IP address binding 10.0.01 on VLAN 10:

fa6/1      ip           active       deny-all                         11-20

Note The second entry shows that a default PVACL (deny all IP traffic) is installed on the port for those snooping-enabled VLANs that do not have a valid IP source binding.

fa6/4      ip-mac       active       deny-all         deny-all        12-20

•This example shows displayed PVACLs for a port configured for IP/MAC filtering but not for port security:

fa6/5      ip-mac       active       deny-all         permit-all      11-20

Note The MAC filter shows permit-all because port security is not enabled, so the MAC filter cannot apply to the port/VLAN and is effectively disabled. Always enable port security first.

•This example shows displayed error message when issuing the show ip verify source command on a port that does not have an IP source filter mode configured: 

IP Source Guard is not configured on the interface fa6/6.

You can also use the show ip verify source command to display all interfaces on the switch that have IP source guard enabled:

Configuring IP Source Guard for Static Hosts

Note Supervisor Engine 6-E does not support this feature.

Note IPSG for Static Hosts should not be used on uplink ports.

IP Source Guard (IPSG) for static hosts extends the IPSG capability to non-DHCP and static environments. The existing IP Source Guard (IPSG) feature uses the entries created by the DHCP snooping feature to validate the hosts connected to a switch. Any traffic received from a host without a valid DHCP binding entry is dropped. In essence, a DHCP environment is a prerequisite for IPSG to work. The IPSG for static hosts feature removes IPSG's dependency on DHCP. The switch creates static entries based on ARP requests or other IP packets and uses them to maintain the list of valid hosts for a given port. In addition, the user can specify the number of hosts that would be allowed to send traffic to a given port. This is equivalent to port-security at Layer 3.

Note Some IP hosts with multiple network interfaces may inject some invalid packets into a network interface. Those invalid packets contain the IP/MAC address for another network interface of that host as the source address. It may cause IIPSG for static hosts in the switch, which connects to the host, to learn the invalid IP/MAC address bindings and reject the valid bindings. You should consult the vender of the corresponding OS and/or the network device of that host to prevent it from injecting invalid packets.

IPSG for Static Hosts initially learns IP/MAC bindings dynamically through an ACL-based snooping mechanism. IP/MAC bindings are learned from static hosts via ARP and IP packets and are stored using the device tracking database. Once the number of IP addresses that have been dynamically learned or statically configured on a given port reaches a maximum limit, any packet with a new IP address is dropped in hardware. To handle hosts that have moved or gone away for any reason, the IPSG for Static Hosts feature leverages IP device tracking functionality to age out dynamically learned IP address bindings. This feature can be used in conjunction with DHCP snooping. Multiple bindings will be established on a port that is connected to both DHCP and static hosts (i.e. bindings will be stored in both the device tracking database as well as the DHCP snooping binding database).

Topics include:

•IPSG for Static Hosts on a Layer 2 Access Port

•IPSG for Static Hosts on a PVLAN Host Port

IPSG for Static Hosts on a Layer 2 Access Port

You can configure IPSG for Static Hosts on a Layer 2 Access Port.

To enable IPSG for Static Hosts with IP filters on a Layer 2 access port, perform this task:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1  

Switch(config)# ip device tracking

Turns on the IP host table.

Step 2  

Switch(config)# interface fastEthernet <a/b>

Enters IP configuration mode.

Step 3  

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access

Configures a port as access.

Step 4  

Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan <n>

Configures the VLAN for this port.

Step 5  

Switch(config-if)# ip device tracking maximum <n>

Establishes a maximum limit for the bindings on this port.

Upper bound for the maximum is 10.

Step 6  

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security

(Optional) Activates Port Security for this port.

Step 7  

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security 
maximum <n>

(Optional) Establishes a maximum number of MAC addresses for this port.

Step 8  

Switch(config-if)# ip verify source tracking 
[port-security]

Activates IPSG for Static Hosts on this port.

Step 9  

Switch(config-if)# end

Exits configuration interface mode.

Step 10  

Switch# show ip verify source interface-name

Verifies the configuration.

Step 11  

Switch# show ip device track all 
[active | inactive] count

Verifies the configuration by displaying the IP-to-MAC binding for a given host on the switch interface.

•all active - displays only the active IP/MAC binding entries

•all inactive - displays only the inactive IP/MAC binding entries

•all - displays the active and inactive IP/MAC binding entries

To stop IPSG with Static Hosts on an interface, use the following commands in interface configuration submode: 

Switch(config-if)# no ip verify source

Switch(config-if)# no ip device tracking max"

To enable IPSG with Static Hosts on a port, issue the following commands: 

Switch(config)# ip device tracking ****enable IP device tracking globally

Switch(config)# ip device tracking max <n> ****set an IP device tracking maximum on int

Switch(config-if)# ip verify source tracking [port-security] ****activate IPSG on the port
Caution If you only configure the ip verify source tracking [port-security] interface configuration command on a port without enabling IP device tracking globally or setting an IP device tracking maximum on that interface, IPSG with Static Hosts will reject all the IP traffic from that interface.

Note The issue above also applies to IPSG with Statis Hosts on a PVLAN Host port.

This example shows how to enable IPSG for Static Hosts with IP filters on a Layer 2 access port and to verify the three valid IP bindings on the interface Fa4/3: 

Switch# configure terminal 

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)# ip device tracking

Switch(config)# interface fastEthernet 4/3

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access 

Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10

Switch(config-if)# ip device tracking maximum 5

Switch(config-if)# ip verify source tracking

Switch(config-if)# end


Switch# show ip verify source

The following example shows how to enable IPSG for Static Hosts with IP-Mac filters on a Layer 2 access port, to verify the five valid IP-MAC bindings on the interface Fa4/3, and to verify that the number of bindings on this interface has reached the maximum limit: 

Switch# configure terminal 

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

Switch(config)# ip device tracking

Switch(config)# interface fastEthernet 4/3

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode access 

Switch(config-if)# switchport access vlan 1

Switch(config-if)# ip device tracking maximum 5

Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security

Fa4/3      ip-mac trk   active       40.1.1.23        00:00:00:00:03:08  1

The following example displays all IP/MAC binding entries for all interfaces. Observe that the CLI displays all active as well as inactive entries. When a host is learned on a interface, the new entry is marked as active. When the same host is disconnected from the current interface and connected to a different interface, a new IP/AC binding entry is displayed as active as soon as the host is detected. The old entry for this host on the previous interface is now marked as inactive.

IPSG for Static Hosts on a PVLAN Host Port

You can configure IPSG for Static Hosts on a PVLAN host port.

To enable IPSG for Static Hosts with IP filters on a PVLAN host port, perform this task:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1  

Switch(config)# vlan <n1>

Enters configuration VLAN mode.

Step 2  

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan primary

Establishes a primary VLAN on a PVLAN port.

Step 3  

Switch(config-vlan)# exit

Exits VLAN configuration mode.

Step 4  

Switch(config)# vlan <n2>

Enters configuration VLAN mode.

Step 5  

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan isolated

Establishes an isolated VLAN on a PVLAN port.

Step 6  

Switch(config-vlan)# exit

Exits VLAN configuration mode.

Step 7  

Switch(config)# vlan <n1>

Enters configuration VLAN mode.

Step 8  

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan association 201

Associates the VLAN on an isolated PVLAN port.

Step 9  

Switch(config-vlan)# exit

Exits VLAN configuration mode.

Step 10  

Switch(config)# interface fastEthernet <a/b>

Enters interface configuration mode.

Step 11  

SSwitch(config-if)# switchport mode private-vlan 
host

(Optional) Establishes a port as a PVLAN host.

Step 12  

SSwitch(config-if)# switchport private-vlan 
host-association <a> <b>

(Optional)Associates this port with the corresponding PVLAN.

Step 13  

Switch(config-if)# ip device tracking maximum <n>

Establishes a maximum limit for the bindings on this port.

Step 14  

Switch(config-if)# ip verify source tracking 
[port-security]

Activiates IPSG for Static Hosts on this port.

Step 15  

Switch(config-if)# end

Exits configuration interface mode.

Step 16  

Switch# show ip device tracking all

Verifies the configuration.

Step 17  

Switch# show ip verify source interface-name

Verifies the configuration.

This example shows how to enable IPSG for Static Hosts with IP filters on a PVLAN host port: 

Switch(config)# vlan 200

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan primary

Switch(config-vlan)# exit

Switch(config)# vlan 201

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan isolated 

Switch(config-vlan)# exit

Switch(config)# vlan 200

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan association 201

Switch(config-vlan)# exit

Switch(config)# int fastEthernet 4/3

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode private-vlan host 

Switch(config-if)# switchport private-vlan host-association 200 201

Switch(config-if)# ip device tracking maximum 8

Switch(config-if)# ip verify source tracking


Switch# show ip device tracking all

IP Device Tracking = Enabled

IP Device Tracking Probe Count = 3

IP Device Tracking Probe Interval = 30
