Abstract Abstract
This document specifies the procedure for creating a binding between This document specifies the procedure for creating a binding between

4.2. SAVI Binding Type Attributes 4.2. SAVI Binding Type Attributes
As illustrated in Figure 1, an system attached to a SAVI device can As illustrated in Figure 1, a system attached to a SAVI device can be
be a DHCP client, a DHCP relay/server, a SAVI device, or a non-SAVI a DHCP client, a DHCP relay/server, a SAVI device, or a non-SAVI
device. Different actions are performed on traffic originated from device. Different actions are performed on traffic originated from
different elements. To distinguish among their requirements, several different elements. To distinguish among their requirements, several
properties are associated with their point of attachment on the SAVI properties are associated with their point of attachment on the SAVI
device. device.
When a binding association is uninstantiated, e.g., when no host is When a binding association is uninstantiated, e.g., when no host is
attached to the SAVI device using a given port or other binding attached to the SAVI device using a given port or other binding
anchor, the binding port attributes take default values unless anchor, the binding port attributes take default values unless
overridden by configuration. By default, a SAVI switch does not overridden by configuration. By default, a SAVI switch does not
filter DHCP messages, nor does it attempt to validate source filter DHCP messages, nor does it attempt to validate source
addresses. This is because a SAVI switch that depends on DHCP cannot addresses, which is to say that the binding attributes are ignored

use an arbitrary set of source addresses. DHCP servers attached, or which have routers or other equipment that
would validly appear to use an arbitrary set of source addresses.
When SAVI has been enabled, the attributes take effect.
4.2.1. Trust Attribute 4.2.1. Trust Attribute
The "Trust Attribute" is a Boolean value. If TRUE, it indicates that The "Trust Attribute" is a Boolean value. If TRUE, it indicates that
the packets from the corresponding attached device need not have the packets from the corresponding attached device need not have
their source addresses validated. Examples of a trusted binding their source addresses validated. Examples of a trusted binding
anchor would be a port to another SAVI device, or to an IP router, as anchor would be a port to another SAVI device, or to an IP router, as
shown in Figure 1. In both cases, traffic using many source IP shown in Figure 1. In both cases, traffic using many source IP
addresses will be seen. By default, the Trust attribute is FALSE, addresses will be seen. By default, the Trust attribute is FALSE,
indicating that any device found on that port will seek an address indicating that any device found on that port will seek an address
