Configuring IP source guard

About IPSG

IP source guard (IPSG) prevents spoofing attacks by using an IPSG binding table to filter out illegitimate packets. This feature is typically configured on user-side interfaces.

IPSG operating mechanism

The IPSG binding table contains bindings that bind IP address, MAC address, VLAN, or any combinations. IPSG uses the bindings to match an incoming packet. If a match is found, the packet is forwarded. If no match is found, the packet is discarded.

IPSG bindings can be static or dynamic.

As shown in Figure 1, IPSG forwards only the packets that match an IPSG binding.

Figure 1 IPSG application

 

 

Static IPSG bindings

Static IPSG bindings 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 IPSG binding on an interface that connects to a server. This binding allows the interface to receive packets only from the server.

Static IPSG bindings on an interface implement the following functions:

·     Filter incoming IPv4 or IPv6 packets on the interface.

·     Cooperate with ARP attack detection in IPv4 for user validity checking. For information about ARP attack detection, see "Configuring ARP attack protection."

·     Cooperate with ND attack detection in IPv6 for user validity checking. For information about ND attack detection, see "Configuring ND attack defense."

Static IPSG bindings can be global or interface-specific.

·     Global static binding—Binds the IP address and MAC address in system view. The binding takes effect on all interfaces to filter packets for user spoofing attack prevention.

·     Interface-specific static binding—Binds the IP address, MAC address, VLAN, or any combination of the items in interface view. The binding takes effect only on the interface to check the validity of users who are attempting to access the interface.

Dynamic IPSG bindings

IPSG automatically obtains user information from other modules to generate dynamic bindings. A dynamic IPSG binding can contain MAC address, IPv4 or IPv6 address, VLAN tag, ingress interface, and binding type. The binding type identifies the source module for the binding, such as DHCP snooping, DHCPv6 snooping, DHCP relay agent, or DHCPv6 relay agent.

For example, DHCP-based IPSG bindings are suitable for scenarios where hosts on a LAN obtain IP addresses through DHCP. IPSG is configured on the DHCP server, the DHCP snooping device, or the DHCP relay agent. It generates dynamic bindings based on the client bindings on the DHCP server, the DHCP snooping entries, or the DHCP relay entries. IPSG allows only packets from the DHCP clients to pass through.

Dynamic IPv4SG

Dynamic bindings generated based on different source modules are for different usages:

 

Interface types	Source modules	Binding usage
Layer 2 Ethernet port	DHCP snooping 802.1X	Packet filtering.
	ARP snooping	For cooperation with modules (such as the MFF module) to provide security services.
VLAN interface	DHCP relay agent	Packet filtering.
	DHCP server	For cooperation with modules (such as the authorized ARP module) to provide security services.

‌

For more information about 802.1X, see "Configuring 802.1X." For information about ARP snooping, DHCP snooping, DHCP relay, and DHCP server, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

Dynamic IPv6SG

Dynamic IPv6SG bindings generated based on different source modules are for different usages:

 

Interface types	Source modules	Binding usage
Layer 2 Ethernet port	DHCPv6 snooping ND snooping 802.1X	Packet filtering.
VLAN interface	DHCPv6 relay agent	Packet filtering.

IPSG tasks at a glance

To configure IPv4SG, perform the following tasks:

1.     Enabling IPv4SG

2.     (Optional.) Configuring a static IPv4SG binding

3.     (Optional.) Excluding IPv4 packets from IPSG filtering

To configure IPv6SG, perform the following tasks:

1.     Enabling IPv6SG

2.     (Optional.) Configuring a static IPv6SG binding

Configuring the IPv4SG feature

Enabling IPv4SG

About the IPv4SG feature on an interface

When you enable IPSG on an interface, the static and dynamic IPSG are both enabled.

·     Static IPv4SG uses static bindings configured by using the ip source binding command. For more information, see "Configuring a static IPv4SG binding."

·     Dynamic IPv4SG generates dynamic bindings from related source modules. IPv4SG uses the bindings to filter incoming IPv4 packets based on the matching criteria specified in the ip verify source command.

Restrictions and guidelines

To implement dynamic IPv4SG, make sure 802.1X, ARP snooping, DHCP snooping, DHCP relay agent, or DHCP server operates correctly on the network.

Enabling IPv4SG on an interface

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Enter interface view.

interface interface-type interface-number

The following interface types are supported:

¡     Layer 2 Ethernet interface.

¡     VLAN interface.

3.     Enable IPv4SG on the interface.

ip verify source { ip-address | ip-address mac-address | mac-address }

By default, IPv4SG is disabled on an interface.

ip verify source trust

Configuring a static IPv4SG binding

About static IPv4SG bindings

You can configure global static and interface-specific static IPv4SG bindings. Global static bindings take priority over interface-specific static and dynamic bindings. An interface first uses global static bindings to match packets. If no match is found, the interface uses the static and dynamic bindings on the interface to match packets.

Restrictions and guidelines

Global static bindings take effect on all interfaces on the device.

To configure a static IPv4SG binding for the ARP attack detection feature, make sure the following conditions are met:

·     The ip-address ip-address option, the mac-address mac-address option, and the vlan vlan-id option must be specified.

·     ARP attack detection must be enabled for the specified VLAN.

3.     Configure a static IPv4SG binding.

ip source binding { ip-address ip-address | ip-address ip-address mac-address mac-address | mac-address mac-address } [ vlan vlan-id ]

You can configure the same static IPv4SG binding on different interfaces.

Excluding IPv4 packets from IPSG filtering

About excluding IPv4 packets from IPSG filtering

By default, IPv4SG processes all incoming IPv4 packets on an interface and discards the packets that do not match IPSG bindings. To allow specific IPv4 packets that do not match any IPSG binding to pass through the interface, you can specify source items of the packets for IPSG filtering exemption. All IPv4 packets with the specified source items are forwarded without being processed by IPSG.

Procedure

1.     Enter system view.

system-view

2.     Exclude IPv4 packets with the specified source items from IPSG filtering.

ip verify source exclude vlan start-vlan-id [ to end-vlan-id ]

By default, no excluded source items are configured.

You can execute this command multiple times to specify multiple excluded VLANs. The specified excluded VLANs cannot overlap.

Configuring the IPv6SG feature

Enabling IPv6SG

About the IPv6SG feature on an interface

When you enable IPv6SG on an interface, the static and dynamic IPv6SG are both enabled.

·     Static IPv6SG uses static bindings configured by using the ipv6 source binding command. For more information, see "Configuring a static IPv6SG binding."

·     Dynamic IPv6SG generates dynamic bindings from related source modules. IPv6SG uses the bindings to filter incoming IPv6 packets based on the matching criteria specified in the ipv6 verify source command.

Restrictions and guidelines

To implement dynamic IPv6SG, make sure DHCPv6 snooping, DHCPv6 relay agent, or ND snooping operates correctly on the network.
