Using Named Source-Port Filters
A company wants to manage traffic to the Internet and its accounting server
on a 26-port switch. Their network is pictured in Figure 11-4. Switch port 1
connects to a router that provides connectivity to a WAN and the Internet.
Switch port 7 connects to the accounting server. Two workstations in
accounting are connected to switch ports 10 and 11.
