We have this enabled on our access switches too but unfortunitly it
only stops 'smart switches' that use STP. Switches that don't do STP
(yes they are out there) and hubs will still work. The only real way
to stop this is enabling port security on each port as that will
prevent more than one MAC from being used on the port, but it will not
work with Mac-Notification :(

Personally, I have been addressing this on a case by case basis
(shutdown the port and let our helpdesk know) because it isn't a huge
issue yet but I've been trying to figure out ways to automate the
process so that I can waste less time on it.
