Configuring Protected Ports
Use this page to configure and view protected ports groups. A port that is a member of a protected ports
group is a protected port. A port that is not a member of any protected ports group is an unprotected port.
Each port can be a member of only one protected ports group. Ports in the same protected ports group
cannot forward traffic to other protected ports within the group, even if they are members of the same
VLAN. However, a port in a protected ports group can forward traffic to ports that are in a different protected
ports group. A protected port can also forward traffic to unprotected ports. Unprotected ports can forward
traffic to both protected and unprotected ports.
