Abstract
A device may receive, from a first device associated with a first LAN, network traffic destined for a second LAN. The device may provide the first LAN with access to a core network. The device may not provide the second LAN with access to the core network. The device may identify, based on the network traffic, a Layer 3 address associated with a second device. The second device may be associated with the second LAN. The device may determine that the first device is categorized as a leaf device within an Ethernet Tree provided by the device. The device may determine, based on the Layer 3 address, that the second device is categorized as a leaf device within the Ethernet Tree. The device may drop the network traffic based on determining that the first device and the second device are categorized as leaf devices within the Ethernet Tree.
