PORT ISOLATION CONFIGURATION
Port Isolation
Overview
Through the port isolation feature, you can add the ports to be controlled into an
isolation group to isolate the Layer 2 and Layer 3 data between each port in the
isolation group. Thus, you can construct your network in a more flexible way and
improve your network security.
Currently, you can create only one isolation group on the Switch 4210. This
feature is also known as a Protected Port or an Isolated Port. The number of
Ethernet ports in an isolation group is not limited.

■ An isolation group only isolates the member ports in it.
■ Port isolation is independent of VLAN configuration.
Port Isolation
Configuration
You can perform the following operations to add an Ethernet ports to an isolation
group, thus isolating Layer 2 and Layer 3 data among the ports in the isolation
group.

■ When a member port of an aggregation group joins/leaves an isolation group,
the other ports in the same aggregation group on the local device will
join/leave the isolation group at the same time.
■ For ports that belong to an aggregation group and an isolation group
simultaneously, removing a port from the aggregation group has no effect on
the other ports. That is, the rest ports remain in the aggregation group and the
isolation group.
■ Ports that belong to an aggregation group and an isolation group
simultaneously are still isolated even when you remove the aggregation group
in system view.
■ Adding a port of an isolation group to an aggregation group causes all the
ports in the aggregation group being added to the isolation group.
