Configuring Protected Ports - HP ProCurve 2510G Series Manual

Note
The switch will not allow you to configure LACP on a port on which port
security is enabled. For example:
ProCurve(config)# int e a17 lacp passive
Error configuring port A17: LACP and port security cannot
be run together.
ProCurve(config)#
To restore LACP to the port, you must remove port security and re-enable
LACP active or passive.

Configuring Protected Ports

There are situations where you want to provide internet access to users but
prevent them from accessing each other. To achieve this control, you can use
the protected-ports command.The command applies per-port, and filters the
outbound traffic from a port. This allows the configuration of two port groups
on a switch—protected ports and unprotected ports. The ports have these
characteristics:
■ Traffic from protected ports is not forwarded to other protected ports.
Protected ports can communicate with unprotected ports, but not
■
with each other.
Unprotected ports can communicate with all ports.
■
The protected-ports command applies to logical ports (trunks as well
■
as untrunked ports)
On switches covered in this guide, you must configure a minimum of 2 ports.
Syntax: [no] protected-ports <port-list>
Prevents the selected ports from communicating with each
other. You must configure two or more ports.
no protected-ports all
Clears the protection from all ports; all ports can now com-
municate with each other.
