Traffic Segmentation
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. Data traffic on
downlink ports is only forwarded to, and from, uplink ports.
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.
Enabling Traffic Segmentation
Use the Interface > Traffic Segmentation (Configure Global) page to enable traffic segmentation.
The following table lists the options on this page:
