Configuring Protected Ports
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.
Protected Port Configuration
Use the Protected Ports Configuration page to create up to three protected port groups and to assign physical
ports to a group.
To display the Protected Port Configuration page, click
LAN > L2 Features
>
Protected Ports > Configuration
in the navigation tree.
