I am developing an appliance that will use bridging to create a little
integrated switch. We need to ensure that only approved devices are allowed
to connect to the switch; are there any mechanisms to enforce security
within the linux bridge? What would be the recommended method if not?
ebtables?
I did a search and found nothing- please point me in the right direction if
I missed something!
Thanks!
