Egress Interface Selection (EIS)

EIS allows you to isolate the management and front-end port domains by preventing switch-initiated
traffic routing between the two domains. This feature provides additional security by preventing flooding
attacks on front-end ports. The following protocols support EIS: DNS, FTP, NTP, RADIUS, sFlow, SNMP,
SSH, Syslog, TACACS, Telnet, and TFTP. This feature does not support sFlow on stacked units.
