D-Link DES-3552 [89/260] Traffic segmentation

DES-3550 Fast Ethernet Layer 2 Switch

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 standalone

mode) or a group of ports on another switch in a switch stack (Single IP). This method of segmenting the flow of traffic is

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

the overhead of the Master switch CPU.

In the Configuration folder open the QoS folder and click Traffic Segmentation, to view the window shown below.

Figure 6- 47. Traffic Segmentation Setting window

This window allows you to determine which port on a given switch will be allowed to forward packets to other ports on that

switch.

The user may set the following parameters:

Parameter Description

Port

Check the corresponding boxes for the port(s) you wish to transmit packets.

Forward Portlist

Check the boxes to select which of the ports on the Switch will be able to forward

packets. These ports will be allowed to receive packets from the port specified above.

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

Traffic Segmentation Table.
