Parameter Description

Use the drop-down menu to enable or disable these ports for IP-MAC Binding.
Enabled Strict – This state provides a stricter method of control. If the user selects this mode,
all packets are blocked by the Switch by default. The Switch will compare all incoming ARP
and IP Packets and attempt to match them against the IMPB white list. If the IP-MAC pair
matches the white list entry, the packets from that MAC address are unblocked. If not, the
MAC address will stay blocked. While the Strict state uses more CPU resources from checking
every incoming ARP and IP packet, it enforces better security and is thus the recommended
