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. The traffic segmentation
commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the following table.
Command Parameters
config traffic_segmentation
[<portlist> | all] forward_list [null | all | <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> | all] forward_list [null
| all | <portlist>]
Description
The
config traffic_segmentation
command is used to configure
traffic segmentation on the Switch.
Parameters
<portlist>
−
Specifies a range of ports that will be configured for
traffic segmentation. The port list is specified by listing the lowest
switch number and the beginning port number on that switch,
separated by a colon. Then the highest switch number, and the
highest port number of the range (also separated by a colon) are
specified. The beginning and end of the port list range are
separated by a dash. For example, 1:3 specifies switch number
1, port 3. 2:4 specifies switch number 2, port 4. 1:3-2:4 specifies
all of the ports between switch 1, port 3 and switch 2, port 4
−
in
numerical order.
all
– Specifies all ports on the Switch.
forward_list
−
Specifies a port or 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
•
all
– Specifies all ports on the Switch.
•
<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:
