Dave,
I believe that a newer version of the 6500 IOS code now supports MAC
notification - just recently released. Not a solution per se, but it
might help.

All,
I am facing a nice little quandary here regarding switches
configured for
OOB and interaction with our NMS. In short, I'm trying to
configure the
switch to send link-state traps for the switch uplinks only to our
NMS, and
the access ports only to the CAM.
Currently, all link-state traps get sent to both places, and it's
annoyingly
filling up our NMS with critical alarms anytime a user disconnects
from the
switch.
This is not a problem for switches supporting MAC notification for
OOB, but
most of our switches are 6500s which only support link-state
notification.
Is what I'm trying to explain conceivable, and if so, can it be done?
Thanks,
