That may not exist, but the counterpart functionality of blocking all 
that is _not_ IPv4 may exist.

On my enterprise IPv4-only network my laptop's RJ45 leds did not even 
blink this morning.  It was because I had unchecked IPv4 on my Windows, 
because I used in the Terminal Room at IETF, which was IPv6 only.

I suppose the switches on my enterprise network block all RJ45 that dont 
reply to IPv4, and block them hardly (RJ45 leds are off).

Same laptop connected to a dumb hub had the leds on.
