Traffic Segmentation
Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports on the Switch. 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 Switch CPU. This window allows the user to view which
ports on the Switch are allowed to forward packets to other ports on the Switch. To configure new forwarding ports for
a particular port, select a port from the From Port and To Port drop-down menus and click Apply.
To view this window, click L2 Features > Traffic Segmentation:
