Introduction to Port Isolation
Usually, Layer 2 traffic isolation is achieved by assigning ports to different VLANs. To save VLAN
resources, port isolation is introduced to isolate ports within a VLAN, allowing for great flexibility and
security.
Currently:
z S5120-EI series Ethernet switches support only one isolation group that is created automatically by
the system as isolation group 1. These devices are referred to as single-isolation-group devices.
You can neither remove the isolation group nor create other isolation groups on such devices.
z There is no restriction on the number of ports assigned to an isolation group.
