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> forward_list [null | <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> forward_list [null | <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.
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
•
<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
).
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure ports 1 through 10 to be able to forward frames to port 11 through 15:
DES-1228/ME:4#config traffic_segmentation 1-10 forward_list 11-15
Command: config traffic_segmentation 1-10 forward_list 11-15
Success.
DES-1228/ME:4#
show traffic_segmentation
Purpose
Used to display the current traffic segmentation configuration on the Switch.
Syntax
show traffic_segmentation <portlist>
Description
The
show traffic_segmentation
command is used to display the current traffic
segmentation configuration on the Switch.
Parameters
<portlist>
−
Specifies a port or range of ports for which the current traffic segmentation
configuration on the Switch will be displayed.
Restrictions
The port lists for segmentation and the forward list must be on the same Switch.
Example usage:
To display the current traffic segmentation configuration on the Switch.
