TRAFFIC SEGMENTATION COMMANDS
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.
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> 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
This 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-3200-28:4#config traffic_segmentation 1-10 forward_list 11-15
Command: config traffic_segmentation 1-10 forward_list 11-15
Success.
DES-3200-28:4#
show traffic_segmentation
Purpose
Used to display the current traffic segmentation configuration on the
Switch.
