Port-based Traffic Segmentation
– 356 –
◆ When traffic segmentation is enabled, the forwarding state for the uplink and
downlink ports assigned to different client sessions is shown below.
◆ When traffic segmentation is disabled, all ports operate in normal forwarding
mode based on the settings specified by other functions such as VLANs and
spanning tree protocol.
◆ Enter the traffic-segmentation command without any parameters to enable
traffic segmentation. Then set the interface members for segmented groups
using the traffic-segmentation uplink/downlink command.
◆ Enter no traffic-segmentation to disable traffic segmentation and clear the
configuration settings for segmented groups.
Example
This example enables traffic segmentation globally on the switch.
