Traffic Segmentation

Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports on either a
single switch (in standalone mode) or a group of ports on another switch in a switch stack (Single IP).
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. In the Security folder click Traffic Segmentation to view the screen shown below.
