What is a Binding Table?

A Binding Table is a data structure that maps IP addresses to specific MAC addresses and ports on a network switch. It is used to validate and control traffic flow. Ensuring that only devices with legitimate IP-MAC bindings can communicate on the network. In features like IP Source Guard, the Binding Table helps prevent unauthorized access. Additionally, it protects IP address spoofing by maintaining accurate records of valid devices connected to the switch.
