Regardless of whether you're using 10.2 or 10.3, defeating IP spoofing
is a pretty trivial thing to accomplish. All you need to do is configure
an access list that explicitly denies packets destined for a specific
(sub)network which claim to have originated from the same (sub)network.

There are basically two ways to do this; on the inbound path and on the
outbound path.


 |  +--+
 | b|  +--<---

 ethernet 192.1.1.0


[inbound]

interface Ethernet0
ip address 192.1.1.0 255.255.255.0

interface Serial0
ip address 192.1.2.0 255.255.255.0
ip access-group 1 in

access-list 100 deny   192.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 192.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 100 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 192.1.1.0 0.0.0.255

[outbound]

interface Ethernet0
ip address 192.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
ip access-group 1 out

interface Serial0
ip address 192.1.2.0 255.255.255.0

access-list 100 deny   192.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 192.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 100 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 192.1.1.0 0.0.0.255
