Traffic Segmentation

Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports on either a single Switch (in

This page allows you to determine which port on the master switch in a switch stack will be allowed to forward packets to

other ports on that switch.

Configuring traffic segmentation on First, you specify a switch from a

Traffic Segmentation table.

The Unit drop-down menu at the top of the page allows you to select a switch from a switch stack using that switch’s Unit

ID. The Port drop-down menu allows you to select a port from that switch. This is the port that will be transmitting

packets. The Portlist field will allow the user to set a port or series of ports to which traffic will be forwarded, on the same

switch. These ports will be configured for the same switch in the Switch stack that has been selected. For the master switch

of a switch stack, the traffic segmentation can be done per stacking port so the Switch can forward traffic to all the ports on

a specific switch in the Switch stack. Clicking the null click box will instruct the Switch not to forward traffic to any ports

on the selected switch.

Clicking the Apply button will enter the combination of transmitting port and allowed receiving ports into the Switch's

similar to using VLANs to limit traffic, but is more restrictive. It provides a method of directing traffic that does not
