Mac address filtering

Hi all,

I've come across a scenario which has me somewhat confused. In a practice lab,
I have been asked to deny all devices with a source mac-address range of
2222.4400.0000 from obtaining access to the rest of the network. This mac
address would be coming in from a Token Ring interface.

I have DLSw+ running, but have not included it in the example below/

The only way I know how to do this as follows:

Interface Tokenring0
  source-bridge input-address-list 701

access-list 701 deny 2222.4400.0000 0000.00ff.ffff
access-list 701 permit 0000.0000.0000 ffff.ffff.ffff

Or

Interface Tokenring0
  access-expression input smac(701)

access-list 701 deny 2222.4400.0000 0000.00ff.ffff
access-list 701 permit 0000.0000.0000 ffff.ffff.ffff

However I have been told there is a third way of doing this, and now here is
the confusing part, by using a Layer 3 filter instead of Layer 2!

The only way I can think of this by doing a "sh arp", and then define an
access-list which filters all the IP addresses which are mapped to their
respective mac addresses which fall into this range.

Am I way of the mark, or do any of you know of this third alternative method.

Thanks,

Raj.
