Traffic Segmentation

Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports on either a single switch or a
group of ports on another switch in a switch stack. 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 Master switch CPU. This page allows you to view which port on a given switch will be allowed to
forward packets to other ports on that switch. Select a port number from the drop down menu to display the forwarding
ports. To configure new forwarding ports for a particular port, select a port from the menu and click Apply.
