Interface Settings
If IP Source Guard is enabled on an untrusted port/LAG, DHCP packets, allowed by DHCP
Snooping, are transmitted. If source IP address filtering is enabled, packet transmission is
permitted as follows:
• IPv4 traffic — Only IPv4 traffic with a source IP address that is associated with the
specific port is permitted.
• Non IPv4 traffic — All non-IPv4 traffic is permitted.
See Interactions with Other Features for more information about enabling IP Source Guard on
interfaces.
