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. 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 Security folder, click Traffic Segmentation, to view the screen shown below.
Figure 10- 24. Current Traffic Segmentation Table
Click on the Setup button to open the Setup Forwarding ports page, as shown below.
Figure 10- 25. Setup Forwarding Ports window
This page allows you to determine which port on a given switch in a switch stack will be allowed to forward packets to other ports
on that switch.
Configuring traffic segmentation on the Switch is accomplished in two parts. First, you specify a port from that switch, using the
Port pull-down menu. Then specify the different ports that you want to be able to receive packets from the port you specified in
the first part.
Clicking the Apply button will enter the combination of transmitting port and allowed receiving ports into the Switch’s Traffic
Segmentation table.
The Port drop-down menu allows you to select a port from that switch. This is the port that will be transmitting packets.
