xStack DGS-3400 Series Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
Traffic Segmentation
Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports. This method of segmenting the flow of
traffic is similar to using VLANs to limit traffic, but is more restrictive. It provides a method of directing traffic that does not
increase the overhead of the Master switch CPU.
Open the Security folder and click Traffic Segmentation , to view the screen shown below.

Figure 9- 30. Setup Forwarding Ports
Configuring traffic segmentation on the xStack DGS-3400 switch series is accomplished in two parts. First, select a switch in the
switch stack by using the
Unit pull-down menu, and then specify a port from the switch, using the Port pull-down menu. Next,
specify which ports on the switch that are able to receive packets from the switch and port specified in the first part.
Clicking the Apply button will enter the combination of transmitting port and allowed receiving ports into the Switch’s Traffic
Segmentation table.
