Group, I sometimes remember things that never happened. Do I remember that there is a simple commad that allows you to block STP, VTP, HSRP, etc. from hitting access ports? Thanks much! Scott Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7i=61796t=61796

On Catalyst switches, you can use the set port host macro. It turns a bunch of stuff off. That won't help with HSRP, though. HSRP is definitely hackable. If you can see the packets, you can see the unencrypted authentication string, and then you can claim to be the active router yourself and all

Hi, disabling STP is not recommended. Use Portfast instead. VTP is only on trunk ports active. HSRP is configured per interface (on router). What do you want to achieve? Jens Neelsen CCNP, CCDP, CCSI --- Larry Letterman wrote: disable STP on the port... -- Larry Letterman Network

Oh, good point regarding fixing the HSRP hole. An access list solves the problem. For your other issues, though, you don't need an access list probably, just set port host if your switch supports it (or something similar on other switches). The Center for Internet Security has some good info for
