Configuring IP source guard

Overview

IP source guard (IPSG) prevents spoofing attacks by using an IPSG binding table to match legitimate packets. It drops packets that do not match the table. IPSG is a per-interface packet filter. Configuring the feature on one interface does not affect packet forwarding on another interface.

The IPSG binding table can include global and interface-specific bindings. IPSG first uses the interface-specific bindings to match packets. If no match is found, IPSG uses the global bindings. The IPSG bindings fall into the following types:

·          IP.

·          MAC.

·          IP-MAC.

·          IP-VLAN.

·          MAC-VLAN.

·          IP-MAC-VLAN.

IPSG bindings can be static or dynamic.

·          Static bindings—Configured manually. Global IPSG supports only static IP-MAC bindings. For more information about global static IPSG bindings, see "Static IPSG bindings."

·          Dynamic bindings—Generated based on information from other modules. For more information about dynamic bindings, see "Dynamic IPSG bindings."

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 and ND attack detection in IPv6 for user validity checking.

For information about ARP attack detection, see "Configuring ARP attack protection." 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. The source modules include ARP snooping, 802.1X, DHCP snooping, DHCPv6 snooping, DHCP relay agent, DHCPv6 relay agent, DHCP server, and ND snooping.

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 ARP snooping	Packet filtering.
Layer 3 Ethernet interface/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 the following source modules are for packet filtering:

 

Interface types	Source modules
Layer 2 Ethernet port	DHCPv6 snooping ND snooping 802.1X
Layer 3 Ethernet interface/VLAN interface	DHCPv6 relay agent

 

For more information about 802.1X, see "Configuring 802.1X." For more information about DHCPv6 snooping, ND snooping, and DHCPv6 relay agent, see Layer 3—IP Services Configuration Guide.

IPSG configuration task list

To configure IPv4SG, perform the following tasks:

 

Tasks at a glance
(Required.) Enabling IPv4SG on an interface
(Optional.) Configuring a static IPv4SG binding

 

To configure IPv6SG, perform the following tasks:

 

Tasks at a glance
(Required.) Enabling IPv6SG on an interface
(Optional.) Configuring a static IPv6SG binding

 

Configuring the IPv4SG feature

You cannot configure the IPv4SG feature on a service loopback interface. If IPv4SG is enabled on an interface, you cannot assign the interface to a service loopback group.

Enabling IPv4SG 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.

·          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.

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

To enable the IPv4SG feature on an interface:

 

Step	Command	Remarks
1.       Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2.       Enter interface view.	interface interface-type interface-number	The following interface types are supported: ·         Layer 2 Ethernet port. ·         Layer 3 Ethernet interface. ·         Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface. ·         VLAN interface.
3.       Enable the IPv4SG feature.	ip verify source { ip-address | ip-address mac-address | mac-address }	By default, the IPv4SG feature is disabled on an interface. If you configure this command on an interface multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

 

Configuring a static IPv4SG binding

You can configure global static and interface-specific static IPv4SG bindings.

Global static bindings take effect on all interfaces.

Interface-specific static bindings take priority over global static bindings. An interface first uses the static bindings on the interface to match packets. If no match is found, the interface uses the global bindings.

The vlan vlan-id option is supported only in Layer 2 Ethernet interface view. 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. You can configure the same static IPv4SG binding on different interfaces.

 

Configuring the IPv6SG feature

You cannot configure the IPv6SG feature on a service loopback interface. If IPv6SG is enabled on an interface, you cannot assign the interface to a service loopback group.

Enabling IPv6SG 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.

·          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.

To implement dynamic IPv6SG, make sure DHCPv6 snooping, DHCPv6 relay agent, 802.1X, or ND snooping operates correctly on the network.

To enable the IPv6SG feature on an interface:

 

Step	Command	Remarks
1.       Enter system view.	system-view	N/A
2.       Enter interface view.	interface interface-type interface-number	The following interface types are supported: ·         Layer 2 Ethernet port. ·         Layer 3 Ethernet interface. ·         Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface. ·         VLAN interface.

You can configure global static and interface-specific static IPv6SG bindings.

Global static bindings take effect on all interfaces.

Interface-specific static bindings take priority over global static bindings. An interface first uses the static bindings on the interface to match packets. If no match is found, the interface uses the global bindings.

The vlan vlan-id option is supported only in Layer 2 Ethernet interface view. To configure a static IPv6SG binding for the ND attack detection feature, the vlan vlan-id option must be specified, and ND attack detection must be enabled for the specified VLAN. You can configure the same static IPv6SG binding on different interfaces.
