D-Link DES-3326S [60/242] Traffic segmentation

D-Link DES-3326S Layer 3 Switch

Traffic Segmentation

The traffic segmentation table is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to other ports on the switch. It cannot be used to

segment traffic between switch units in a stack. For this it would be appropriate to use VLANs or a filtering method. This

provides an additional tool to direct traffic flow without relying on the Master CPU.

Edit the Traffic Segmentation for each port with the Edit menu (below).

Click the selection button on the far left that corresponds to the port you want to configure and click the Edit button. This will

open the following dialog box:

Figure 5- 7. Traffic Segmentation – Edit

In the Edit menu, select the Forward Ports for the specified port. A Forward Port is

a port that is allowed to receive transmissions for the specified port.

Traffic segmentation settings are applied to each Switch individually. There is no

traffic segmentation between Switches in a stacked group. Although the same

effect can be achieved using other mechanisms such as filtering or VLANs.

To configure Traffic Segmentation for a port, select the ports from the Port List that are allowed to receive forwarded frames

from the port that is being configured. Click the Apply button to add the ports to the forward list.
