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.
Local traffic belonging to each client is isolated to the allocated downlink ports, and
upstream traffic coming from the downlink ports can only be forwarded to, and from,
uplink ports.
Command Usage
• When traffic segmentation is enabled, the forwarding state for the uplink and
downlink ports is shown below.
• When traffic segmentation is disabled, all ports operate in normal forwarding mode
based on the settings specified by other functions such as VLANs and spanning
tree protocol.
Configuring Global Settings for Traffic Segmentation
Use the Traffic Segmentation Link Status page to enable traffic segmentation.
Command Attributes
