Louie,

By definition that would mean it blocked/allowed by mac address, as in
port security on a cat, but two way I guess.

Not much good really for firewalling, given the amount of mac addresses
one would have to enter, or would they block by vendor code masking :)

Subject: A firewall Question

All,

I have been working with Check point firewall for a while, and just
today I
heard a guy say that there is a kind of firewall that is a layer 2
device,
anyone can comment on that please....

Thank you
