M4300 switches, How to prevent a device with duplicate IP of gateway on the network ?
Is there a way to prevent anyone connecting into the switch with the same IP as the Firewall Gateway? for example if the gateway firewall Lan IP is 192.168.50.1 and a user comes along with a lapto...
No its not work laptop. Basically we are trying to prevent anyone from Self-Assigning themselves the gateway IP of the firewall. So if someone comes in with a laptop, connects to the switch with the SAME IP as the GATEWAY, than the switch should KNOW that the TRUE gateway IP is on Port 5 instead of the laptop port 20. Its more to do with security than dhcp in my opinion. thoughts?
What about IP Source Guard, will that work with our scenario?
You can also enable IP Source guard but the important one is using DAI.
