Configuring Protected Ports

The Protected Ports feature assists in Layer 2 security. Ports that are configured to be protected cannot
forward traffic to other protected ports in the same group, regardless of having the same VLAN membership.
However, protected ports can forward traffic to ports which are unprotected as well as ports in other
protected groups. Unprotected ports can forward traffic to both protected and unprotected ports.

Protected Port Configuration

Use the Protected Ports Configuration page to create up to three protected port groups and to assign physical
ports to a group.
To display the Protected Port Configuration page, click LAN > L2 Features>Protected Ports > Configuration
in the navigation tree.

Description
The protected ports can be combined into a logical group. Traffic can flow
between protected ports belonging to different groups, but not within the
same group. The selection box lists all the possible protected port Group IDs
supported for the current platform. The valid range is platform-dependent.
Assign an optional name to associate with the protected ports group. The
name is for identification purposes and can be up to 32 alphanumeric
characters long, including blanks. The default is blank.
Specifies the Slot/Port for which port parameters are defined.
