Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
configuring, by a switch, a first synchronization identifier to indicate validated Internet Protocol (IP) binding information;
receiving 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:
extracting from the BGP update message reachability information, which includes media access control (MAC) and IP information associated with the first client;
validating, based on security policies, the MAC and IP information associated with the first client; and
adding 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.
