enable traffic-segmentation
Purpose Used to enable traffic segmetation system
wide.
Syntax enable traffic-segmentation
Description Traffic segmentation is used to limit the
broadcast domain of indivudual ports.
When traffic segmentation is enabled, the
ports on the switch slave blade modules
have a limited broadcast domain. In effect,
a separate VLAN is created for each port
that includes the port plus the Master CPU
and its uplink ports. This arrangement is
sometimes referred to as Asymettric VLAN.
When traffic segmentation is enabled, the
ports on the switch slave blade modules are
segmented so they are unable to
communicate with ports that share the
same slave blade module. Ports are not
restricted from communication with ports
on different modules.
Parameters None.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue
this command.
Example Usage:
To enable traffic segmentation Switch wide:

Command: enable traffic-segmentation
Success.
