Tim,

what you are looking for is AFCP, which is the protocol that the HP uses 
to communicate with the DTCs. In the past you could configure network 
equipment to bridge non-IP traffic, or bridge non-IP traffic based on 
MAC addresses.

I recently was helping someone with this problem and they were using 
some CISCO equipment (new). Apparently CISCO didn't make the particular 
router capable of bridging non-IP traffic, so it was a dead end.

Try jazz.external.hp.com/papers/DTCManagementWhitePaper.doc  for more 
information.
