Prerequisites for IP Source Guard

None.

Restrictions for IP Source Guard

Because the IP source guard feature is supported only in hardware, IP source guard is not applied if there are insufficient hardware resources available. These hardware resources are shared by various other ACL features that are configured on the system. The following restrictions apply to IP source guard:

•Supported only on ingress Layer 2 ports.

•Supported only in hardware; not applied to any traffic that is processed in software.

•Does not support filtering of traffic based on MAC address.

•Is not supported on private VLANs.

Overview of IP Source Guard

IP source guard provides source IP address filtering on a Layer 2 port to prevent a malicious host from impersonating a legitimate host by assuming the legitimate host's IP address. The feature uses dynamic DHCP snooping and static IP source binding to match IP addresses to hosts on untrusted Layer 2 access ports.

Initially, all IP traffic on the protected port is blocked except for DHCP packets. After a client receives an IP address from the DHCP server, or after static IP source binding is configured by the administrator, all traffic with that IP source address is permitted from that client. Traffic from other hosts is denied. This filtering limits a host's ability to attack the network by claiming a neighbor host's IP address. IP source guard is a port-based feature that automatically creates an implicit port access control list (PACL).

IP Source Guard Interaction with VLAN-Based Features

Use the access-group mode command to specify how IP source guard interacts with VLAN-based features (such as VACL and Cisco IOS ACL and RACL).

In prefer port mode, if IP source guard is configured on an interface, IP source guard overrides other VLAN-based features. If IP source guard is not configured on the interface, other VLAN-based features are merged in the ingress direction and applied on the interface.

In merge mode, IP source guard and VLAN-based features are merged in the ingress direction and applied on the interface. This is the default access-group mode.

Channel Ports

IP source guard is supported on Layer 2 port-channel interfaces but not on the port members. When IP source guard is applied to a Layer 2 port-channel channel interface, it is applied to all the member ports in the EtherChannel.

Layer 2 and Layer 3 Port Conversion

When an IP source guard policy is configured on a Layer 2 port, if the port is reconfigured as a Layer 3 port, the IP source guard policy no longer functions but is still present in the configuration. If the port is reconfigured as a Layer 2 port, the IP source guard policy becomes effective again.

IP Source Guard and Voice VLAN

IP source guard is supported on a Layer 2 port that belongs to a voice VLAN. For IP source guard to be active on the voice VLAN, DHCP snooping must be enabled on the voice VLAN. In merge mode, the IP source guard feature is merged with VACL and Cisco IOS ACL configured on the access VLAN.

IP Source Guard and Web-Based Authentication

You can configure IP source guard and web-based authentication (see Chapter 82 "Web-Based Authentication") on the same interface. Other VLAN-based features are not supported when IP Source Guard and web-based authentication are combined.

Default Settings for IP Source Guard

None.

How to Configure IP Source Guard

To enable IP source guard, perform this task:

 
Command
Purpose

Step 1  

Router(config)# ip dhcp snooping

Enables DHCP snooping globally.

Step 2  

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

Enables DHCP snooping on your VLANs.

Step 3  

Router(config)# interface interface-name

Selects the interface to be configured.

Step 4  

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

Use the no keyword to configure the interface as untrusted.

Step 5  

Router(config-if)# ip verify source vlan 
dhcp-snooping [port-security]

Enables IP source guard, source IP address filtering on the port. The following are the command parameters:

•vlan applies the feature to only specific VLANs on the interface. The dhcp-snooping option applies the feature to all VLANs on the interface that have DHCP snooping enabled.

•port-security enables MAC address filtering. This feature is currently not supported.

Step 6  

Router(config-if)# exit

Returns to global configuration mode.

Step 7  

Router(config)# ip source binding mac_address 
vlan vlan-id ip-address interface interface_name

(Optional) Configures a static IP binding on the port.

Step 8  

Router(config)# end

Exits configuration mode.

Step 9  

Router# show ip verify source [interface 
interface_name]

Verifies the configuration.

Note The static IP source binding can only be configured on a Layer 2 port. If you enter 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.

 
   
 
    
   
 The no keyword deletes the corresponding IP source binding entry. This command requires an exact match of all the required parameters in order for the deletion to be successful. 
 
   
 
    
    
   
 This example shows how to enable per-Layer 2 port IP source guard on VLANs 10 through 20: 
 
    
   
 
    
Router# configure terminal

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

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config)# ip dhcp snooping

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config)# ip dhcp snooping vlan 10 20

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 6/1

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# switchport mode access

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# switchport access vlan 10

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

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

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# end

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router# show ip verify source interface gigabitethernet 6/1

 The output shows that there is one valid DHCP binding to VLAN 10. 
 
    
   
 This example shows how to configure an interface to use prefer port mode: 
 
    
   
 
    
Router# configure terminal

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config)# interface gigabitethernet 6/1

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# access-group mode prefer port

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
 
   
 
    
   
 This example shows how to configure an interface to use merge mode: 
 
    
   
 
    
Router# configure terminal

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 6/1

 
   
 
    
   
 
    
Router(config-if)# access-group mode merge

 
   
 
     
    
    
    
    
    
    
   
 Displaying IP Source Guard PACL Information 
 
    
   
 To display IP source guard PACL information for all interfaces on a switch, perform this task:

          Purpose 
        
 		 
      
 
      
 
         
        
        
 
         
Router# show ip verify source [interface 
interface-name]

 
        
 
       
 Displays IP source guard PACL information for all interfaces on a switch or for a specified interface. 
 		 
      
 
      
    
 
   
 
   
 
 
    
   
 This example shows that DHCP snooping is enabled on VLAN 10 through 20, interface fa6/1 is configured for IP filtering, and there is an existing IP address binding 10.0.01 on VLAN 10:

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

 Note The MAC address 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 an error message when you enter 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.
