Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed by a computing system cause the computing system to:
configure, by a switch, a first synchronization identifier to indicate validated Internet Protocol (IP) binding information;
receive a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) update message associated with a first client, wherein the BGP update message includes a second synchronization identifier; and
responsive to determining that the second synchronization identifier matches the first synchronization identifier:
extract from the BGP update message reachability information, which includes media access control (MAC) and IP information associated with the first client;
validate, based on security policies, the MAC and IP information associated with the first client; and
add the validated MAC and IP information associated with the first client to a local IP binding database, thereby allowing synchronization of the validated MAC and IP information associated with the first client between the switch and other switches.
