D-Link xStack DGS-3426 User Manual - Traffic Segmentation

Traffic Segmentation
Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports. 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.
Open the Security folder and click Traffic Segmentation, to view the screen shown below.

Figure 8- 24. Setup Forwarding Ports
Configuring traffic segmentation on the xStack DGS-3400 switch series is accomplished in two parts. First, specify a port
from the switch, using the Port pull-down menu. Then specify which ports on the switch that are able to receive packets
from the switch and port specified in the first part.
Clicking the Apply button will enter the combination of transmitting port and allowed receiving ports into the Switch’s
Traffic Segmentation table.
