3857.0. "900 Repeater ... Lock on IP Address ???" by NCMAIL::SCHEID () Tue Sep 10 1996 21:09

    
    
    I know a port can locked on MAC Addresses ... is there any plans to
    have a port on a repeater lock on IP Address ...
    
    I realize that this is not nearly as secure as MAC level ... but 
    a customer (university) has this particular need ...

	It's impossible. A repeater doesn't know what protocol your sending. It's too low level. You need a router to do this. One of our RouteAbouts would do nicely. -Mike
