Configuring the Switch
3-236

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 client sessions.
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.
Use the Traffic Segmentation Status page to enable traffic segmentation, and to
block or forward traffic between uplink ports assigned to different client sessions.
Command Attributes
• Traffic Segmentation Status – Enables port-based traffic segmentation.
(Default: Disabled)
• Uplink-to-Uplink – Specifies whether or not traffic can be forwarded between
uplink ports assigned to different client sessions. (Default: Blocking)
Web – Click VLAN, Traffic Segmentation, Status. Set the traffic segmentation status
or uplink-to-uplink forwarding mode, and click Apply.

CLI – This example enables traffic segmentation and allows traffic to be forwarded
across the uplink ports assigned to different client sessions.
