And if there is no managed switch, you could install
an IPCop firewall between the LTSP server and the rest
of the network.  It's got a web interface and you can
give him the admin password for it.  This will allow
him to block traffic to/from your LTSP server as
needed.

IPCop is based on Linux, and is free.  I know someone
who uses it for his company's main firewall, and it's
running on an old Pentium 2.
