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:
S5120-SI Switch Series supports multiple isolation groups which can be configured manually. These
•
devices are referred to as multiple-isolation-group devices.
There is no restriction on the number of ports assigned to an isolation group.
•
Within the same VLAN, Layer 2 data transmission between ports within and outside the isolation
•
group is supported.
