[mrtg] Re: Blocking ip addresses and/or ports from being recorded

[James Overbeck]

Hello,
	This isn't something you can do at the layer 2 switch level I'm afraid. 
Switches pass through ethernet packets regardless of the port and whether 
the protocol is IP, IPX/SPX, or AppleTalk.

Best regards,
James
