Port Isolation; Storm Control - D-Link DGS-1024D G2 User Manual

Section 5 - DIP Switches

Port Isolation

Port Isolation, also known as Private VLAN, is a feature of this switch which restricts switch ports to communicating with
only a single uplink port. When enabled, all private port traffic will be forwarded to the uplink port, regardless of VLAN ID or
destination MAC address and prevented from communicating with all other ports. However, the uplink port will still be able to
communicate with all switch ports. This may desired for network environments where Internet connections shared between
different apartments or hotel rooms where network segmentation for privacy and security is desired.

Storm Control

A broadcast storm occurs when a message is exponentially retransmitted creating excessive broadcast traffic which consume
network resources as to render it unable to transport normal traffic. When this switch's broadcast storm control feature is
enabled, incoming broadcast frames are monitored and prevented from being forwarded if exceeding a 128 kbps value.
While this does not resolve broadcast radiation problems, it will help a network administrator to diagnose and resolve the
root cause of the broadcast storm.
Note:
The switch must be power cycled after changing DIP switch settings for new settings to take effect.
