Security > Traffic Segmentation

This feature provides administrators to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports on a single

Switch. This method of segmenting the flow of traffic is similar to using VLANs to limit traffic, but is more

restrictive.

Figure 4.138 – Security > Traffic Segmentation

To configure traffic segmentation specify a port or All ports from the switch, using the Port pull-down menu

and select Port Map then click Apply to enter the settings into the Switch’s Traffic Segmentation table.

Click Select All to select all port maps or click Clear button to uncheck port maps.
