Cade,

        The only thing that I can think of is that using CAM you might be
able to lock down traffic such that it doesn't impact anything except the
source and destination stations. It would be a good solution to a layer-two
only switch where a lot of traffic came in the source port, and you wanted
to avoid it from impacting the other stations on the switch. Perhaps, a
heavy-duty multicast or broadcast could be contained that way. Anyone know
how to do this?

        The question of using CAM and SPAN together was posed some time ago,
and I don't think that there was a good answer at the time. Does anyone
have a good answer now? Just can't seem to understand why you should
statically set CAM Macs when using SPAN as some have recommended. Thanks in
advance.
