I tested this feature on a 2924 Enterprise switch with a 
Cisco 2514 
(IOS 12.0 IP Enterprise feature set) recently, and it 
appears indeed
to provide protection against directly writing to the MAC 
of the target.


Pretty good for having blading on the brain... 
If I recall correctly, 2514's are unable to support 
Trunking.  So it was a
Cisco 45xx with FastEthernet card, but you already knew 
that.  Just trying
to confuse us, once again, I see...

-LLL

To further confuse the reader, I must point out that the 
802.10 frame spec
(for use on the trunk line) includes a boolean flag for 
fragmented ether
frames.  Cisco's documentation claims to ignore the 
fragmentation field...

I'm going roller blading now :)

[Mike S]:
And there you have it.
