Ethernet switches for filtering by EtherType

Hi everyone,

we're trying to filter packets by EtherType, so packets with EtherType X are not transmitted from VLAN or port X to Y. It might as well just drop all packets with a certain EtherType, it's not really important.

I couldn't really find any switches which support this feature and I'm not even sure what to search for really. We're currently using mostly HP ProCurve/Aruba switches which don't seem to support this feature.

I found a document on the HP website which explains a feature which looks like the one we want.

They use a ProCurve 5406zl in this document which we have, however ours doesn't seem to support this feature.

Does anyone have an idea what I could look for and point me into the right direction?
