Protected Ports Membership
If a port is configured as protected, it does not forward traffic to any other protected port on
the switch, but it will forward traffic to unprotected ports. Use the Protected Ports Membership
screen to configure the ports as protected or unprotected.
To configure protected ports:
1. Select Security
Traffic Control Protected Ports.
2. Click the orange bar to display the available ports.
3. Click the box below
each port to configure as a protected port.
Protected ports are marked with a
check mark. No traffic forwarding is possible
between two protected ports.
4. Click App
ly.
Private VLAN Configuration
Use this screen to add Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) to the device and to configure
existing VLANs as private VLANs. Private VLANs provide Layer 2 isolation between ports
that share the same broadcast domain. In other words, a private VLAN allows a VLAN
broadcast domain to be partitioned into smaller point-to-multipoint subdomains. The ports
participating in a private VLAN can be located anywhere in the Layer 2 network. Each
subdomain is defined (represented) by a primary VLAN and a secondary VLAN. The primary
VLAN ID is the same for all subdomains that belong to a private VLAN. The secondary VLAN
ID differentiates subdomains from each another and provides Layer 2 isolation between ports
that are members of the same private VLAN.
To configure the private VLAN type:
1. Select Security
Traffic Control Private Vlan > Private Vlan Type Configuration.
