Figure 56: Enabling Power Savings

If tighter security is required for passing traffic from different clients

through downlink ports on the local network and over uplink ports to the

service provider, port-based traffic segmentation can be used to isolate

traffic for individual clients.

Traffic belonging to each client is isolated to the allocated downlink ports.

But the switch can be configured to either isolate traffic passing across a

client's allocated uplink ports from the uplink ports assigned to other

clients, or to forward traffic through the uplink ports used by other clients,

allowing different clients to share access to their uplink ports where

security is less likely to be compromised.

Use the Interface > Traffic Segmentation (Configure Global) page to enable

traffic segmentation.

"Configuring Port-based Traffic Segmentation" on page 956

These parameters are displayed:

Status – Enables port-based traffic segmentation. (Default: Disabled)

Uplink-to-Uplink Mode – Specifies whether or not traffic can be

forwarded between uplink ports assigned to different client sessions.

Blocking – Blocks traffic between uplink ports assigned to different
