Traffic segmentation allows you 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

[<portlist>] forward_list [null | <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.
Restrictions Only
administrator-level users can issue this command.
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).
Example usage:
To configure ports 1 through 10 to be able to forward frames to port 11 through 15:
DES-3526:4# config traffic_segmentation 1-10 forward_list 11-15
Command: config traffic_segmentation 1-10 forward_list 11-15
Success.
