    This could be done by installing a Personal Firewall package on each workstation.
    New ones, Like Symantec's products, let you set "personalities" (standard configurations) up in advance and push updates to policy to the clients from a central console.

    Cheers!

      Recent IOS-based Cisco switches include an ability to apply
    access lists to filter traffic between switch ports within a
    VLAN. Your client may have to replace some hardware to get
    this feature, but it's available if they want it badly enough.
