Traffic segmentation allows users to further sub-divide VLANs into smaller groups of ports that will help to reduce traffic
on the VLAN. The VLAN rules take precedence, and then the traffic segmentation rules are applied.
Command
Parameters
config traffic_segmentation
[<portlist> | all] forward_list [null | all | <portlist>]
show traffic_segmentation
{<portlist>}
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
config traffic_segmentation
Purpose
Used to configure traffic segmentation on the Switch.
Syntax
config traffic_segmentation [<portlist> | all] forward_list [null | all | <portlist>]
Description
The
config traffic_segmentation
command is used to configure traffic segmentation on the
Switch.
Parameters
<portlist>
−
Specifies a port or range of ports that will be configured for traffic segmentation. The
beginning and end of the port list range are separated by a dash. Non-contiguous portlist entries
are separated by a comma. (ex: 1-3,7-9)
forward_list
−
Specifies a range of ports that will receive forwarded frames from the ports specified
in the portlist, above.
•
null
−
No ports are specified.
•
all –
All ports are specified.
•
<portlist>
−
Specifies a range of ports for the forwarding list. This list must be on the
same Switch previously specified for traffic segmentation (i.e. following the
<portlist>
specified above for
config traffic_segmentation
). The beginning and end of the port list
range are separated by a dash. Non-contiguous portlist entries are separated by a
comma. (ex:1-3,7-9)
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure ports 1 through 5 to be able to forward frames to port 6 through 10:
DGS-3450:admin# config traffic_segmentation 1-5 forward_list 6-10
Command: config traffic_segmentation 1-5 forward_list 6-10
Success.
DGS-3450:admin#
