interfaces based on manually configured entries in the IP Source Guard

traffic attacks caused when a host tries to use the IP address of a neighbor
to access the network. This section describes how to configure IP Source
Guard.
Use the Security > IP Source Guard > Port Configuration page to set the
filtering type based on source IP address, or source IP address and MAC
