RE: Repost: cat 3550 L3 Port security

Yeah........ I remember too......... I remember that port security was
the solution to L2, but even a static ARP entry on the Cat3550 would
only make it where that switch itself would only use the given MAC to
reach the specified IP. That wouldn't prevent that same MAC from using
another IP with other devices......

I remember that one.

I say a switchport port-security mac-address and a static arp entry.

The reason why static arp is that if you had a different mac spoofing
the ip address, it would break the layer two return path therefore
securing the ip to mac mapping.

I seem to remember a lot of people disagreeing. I still point out that
layer two has return paths, just like layer three.

Check the archives for this list............. The last time this was
brought up, it caused a very lengthy and in-depth discussion with many
different ideas.

Thanks John,

But what makes this complicated is that a specified ip address
(10.1.2.4) and mac (aaaa.bbbb.cccc) has to be permitted only.

Use port security as follows...

int f0/x
switchport port-security mac-address <mac-address>
switchport port-security maximum 1

and a single spec IP address without using L2/L3 acls. I understand the
L2 part with port security, but is it possible for L3?

prevent this port talking to others in the L2 domain. Only when talking
directly with the cat, this comes into play because the arp entry is
static (when IP is different than in arp cache).
