Traffic Segmentation
Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports on either a single switch (in standalone
mode) or a group of ports on another switch in a switch stack (Single IP). This method of segmenting the flow of traffic is similar
to using VLANs to limit traffic, but is more restrictive. It provides a method of directing traffic that does not increase the overhead
of the Master switch CPU.
