Chapter 47 Configuring Network Security with ACLs Configuring RA Guard
RA Guard is purely an Layer 2 port based feature and can be configured only on switchports. It
works irrespective of whether IPv6 routing is enabled. It is not supported on router interfaces and
VLANs.
RA Guard is supported on trunk ports; filtering is performed on packets arriving from all the allowed
VLANs.
RA Guard is supported on EtherChannel; the RA Guard configuration (whether present or not) on
the EtherChannel overrides the RA Guard configuration on the member ports.
RA Guard is supported on ports that belong to PVLANs (for example, isolated secondary host ports,
community secondary host ports, promiscuous primary host ports, (primary/secondary) trunk ports.
Primary VLAN features are inherited and merged with port features.
Because of hardware limitations, it may not be possible for Supervisor Engine 6-E and 6L-E to
collect statistics for RA Guard in hardware. If so, an error message is displayed. The show ipv6
snooping counter interface commands display the estimated counters.
Note Beginning with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SG, per port RA Guard ACL statistics are supported
and displayed when you enter a show ipv6 snooping counters interface command. (Previous to
this release, you enter the show ipv6 first-hop counters interface command.)
