Lack of "ip verify source" and "ip arp inspection" commands on WS-C2960X-48TS-LL

[Jack K]

Hi all

I need your help. I tried to search through the Internet but with no success. In our network we have one Cisco WS-C2960X-48TS-LL switch. However it's not possible to implement IP Source Guard and DAI because there is lack of "ip verify source" and "ip arp inspection" commands. IP DHCP Snooping works fine. On the switch is installed the latest and suggested IOS version 15.2.7E4.

Here is a bit of the config:

Is there any chance to implement IP Source Guard and DAI on that switch? I would be grateful for any suggestions

   Your particular model is not shown as supporting IP Source Guard, check attachment.

Thank you for your quick reply. However this Cisco Feature Navigator is not reliable in my case, because as well it doesn't show other older switches as Catalyst 3560x which has all the mentioned features. It also doesn't show that WS-C2960X-48TS-LL has DHCP snooping, what works on it as shown in the given output. I think this feature shows only most recent network devices.

 Acknowledging that and seen before , it would be more honest and functional for everybody if the feature navigator would include all devices for a particular features and not only new-models.

Hi Sam, 

This looks like a limitation on the current platform, i have tested with 29xx devices in my environment. Although we dont use the source gaurd feature. It did not work on 29xx but was working on 3550 and above. 

Searched for command ref for the code train you are running could find anything there as well. 

Let us know if you find anything
