  Recent IOS-based Cisco switches include an ability to apply
access lists to filter traffic between switch ports within a
VLAN.  Your client may have to replace some hardware to get
this feature, but it's available if they want it badly enough.

Subject: Blocking NetBios


Hi list,
I have a request from one of our clients to block NetBios in
thier Network
( No one should be able to see the shared resources of others)
I have googled around and all what I have found is blocking
it on the edge
communication equipment ( router, xDSL modemd..etc) Which
will be done.
The most important thing is to disable it internally ( inside the LAN)
Any suggestions???
Taking in consideration that there is  DHCP server for the
clients ( If it
can contribute in the Solution)
Best Regards,
Kareem Mahgoub
