4.4.6.4 MAC Address Filtering
MAC address filtering allows the switch to drop unwanted traffic. Traffic is
filtered based on the source or destination addresses. For example, if your
network is congested because of high utilization from one MAC address,
you can filter all traffic transmitted from that MAC address, restoring
network flow while you troubleshoot the problem.
