The Protected Ports feature assists in Layer 2 security. Ports that are configured to be protected cannot forward traffic to
other protected ports in the same group, regardless of having the same VLAN membership. However, protected ports can
forward traffic to ports which are unprotected as well as ports in other protected groups. Unprotected ports can forward traffic
to both protected and unprotected ports.

Description
The protected ports can be combined into a logical group. Traffic can flow between
protected ports belonging to different groups, but not within the same group. The
selection box lists all the possible protected port Group IDs supported for the current
platform. The valid range is platform-dependent.
Assign an optional name to associate with the protected ports group. The name is for
identification purposes and can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, including
blanks. The default is blank.
Specifies the Slot/Port for which port parameters are defined.
