Port Isolation Overview
With 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 an S5100SI/EI Series Ethernet switch. The
number of Ethernet ports in an isolation group is not limited.
An isolation group only isolates the member ports in it.
Port Isolation Configuration
You can perform the following operations to add an Ethernet port to an isolation group, thus isolating
Layer 2 and Layer 3 data among the ports in the isolation group.
