I've thought about it. I just have to get smart first so I can answer all
the crazy questions that people come up with. *grin*

Tim,
My friend u have a great future in teaching no doubt :-) I really like
your detailed explanations.
This feature is known as Private VLAN in 6500 world. Cisco implemented
as switchport protected in 3550 world.
Cheers,
Captain Jack Sparrow!

Two ports that are configured as "protected ports" cannot speak to one
another. Here's a couple of items of interested from the docs
A protected port does not forward any traffic (unicast, multicast, or
broadcast) to any other port that is also a protected port. Traffic
cannot be forwarded between protected ports at Layer 2; all traffic
passing between protected ports must be forwarded through a Layer 3
device.
Forwarding behavior between a protected port and a nonprotected port
proceeds as usual.
Picture two servers that you DON'T want to be able to talk to each other
for whatever reason, you could configure them both as protected ports
and they wouldn't be able to "talk" at layer 2, however, if they're on
different layer 3 networks and have to speak to a router then there
still might be issues.

Hello, group.
Can anyone explain what this command means. I checked the doc CD but it
doesn't really explain all that well.
Thanks,
Danny
