Why is the switch sending you all that traffic for VLAN's you don't care about? I have a hard time imagining such a scenario. Sure, you could have forgotten to limit the VLAN range sent to a particular host, or even have decided that it's administratively easier to just allow everything, but the switch still won't send unicast traffic out that port unless the destination MAC matches. If broadcast or non-solicited multicast takes up most of your bandwidth, you have other problems. /Benny - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
