Configuring IP Source Guard using EDM

This section describes how to configure IP Source Guard to add a higher level of security to a port or ports by preventing IP spoofing


Attention

Nortel recommends that you do not enable IP Source Guard on trunk ports.


Attention

Nortel recommends that you carefully manage the number of applications running on the Ethernet Routing Switch 8300 that use filters. For example, if you configure NSNA on ports and attempt to configure IP Source Guard on those same ports, the IP Source Guard configuration can fail due to the limited number of filters available.


Attention

Hardware resources can run out if IP Source Guard is enabled on trunk ports with a large number of VLANs, which have DHCP snooping enabled. If this happens, traffic sending can be interrupted for some clients. Nortel recommends that IP Source Guard not be enabled on trunk ports.
