Traffic Segmentation
Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports on either a single switch or a group of ports
on another switch in a switch stack. 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.
