So, that being the case, I've decided to get anal. My plan is to configure access to APE in much the same way as access is configured om WIX - block all MAC addresses that don't have an APE address associated with them, or a good justification for their existance. That means that packets from switches attached to APE will get dropped by the Citylink switch, which should stop most of the evil spanning tree plotting that the other switches seem to get up to.
Your doing source MAC filtering, obviously. Is this likely to break IGMP, CGMP, etc?
IGMP, I wouldn't have thought so, CGMP, probably. Worst case, I guess I could do it by hand, and assign each port to a multicast VLAN. (Sez me, knowing little about vlans, less about multicast, and nothing about IGML and CGMP :-).
