ipv6 source-guard This command configures the switch to filter inbound traffic based on the source
IPv6 address or address prefix stored in the binding table. Use the no form to
disable this function.
Syntax
ipv6 source-guard {sip | sdp}
no ipv6 source-guard
sip – Enable IPv6 source address filtering
sdp – Enable IPv6 source prefix filtering
Default Setting
Address Filtering: Disabled
Prefix Filtering: Disabled
Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet)
Command Usage
◆ Source guard is used to filter traffic on an insecure port which receives
messages from outside the network or firewall, and therefore may be subject to
traffic attacks caused by a host trying to use the IP address of a neighbor.
◆ This command checks the VLAN ID, IPv6 global unicast source IP address or
address prefix, and port number against all entries in the binding table. Use the
no ipv6 source guard command to disable this function on the selected port.
◆ After IPv6 source guard is enabled on an interface, the switch initially blocks all
IPv6 traffic received on that interface, except for ND packets allowed by ND
snooping and DHCPv6 packets allowed by DHCPv6 snooping. A port access
control list (ACL) is applied to the interface. Traffic is then filtered based upon
dynamic entries learned via ND snooping or DHCPv6 snooping, or static
addresses configured in the source guard binding table. The port allows only
IPv6 traffic with a matching entry in the binding table and denies all other IPv6
traffic.
◆ Table entries include a MAC address, IPv6 global unicast address, source-
delegated IPv6 prefix, entry type (Static-IPv6-SG-Binding, Dynamic-ND-
Snooping, Dynamic-DHCPv6-Snooping), VLAN identifier, and port identifier.
◆ Static addresses entered in the source guard binding table with the ipv6
source-guard binding command are automatically configured with an infinite
lease time. Dynamic entries learned via DHCPv6 snooping are configured by
the DHCPv6 server itself.
