Configure Protected Ports

If a port is configured as protected, it does not forward traffic to any other protected port on
the switch, but it does forward traffic to unprotected ports. Use the Protected Ports
Membership page to configure the ports as protected or unprotected. You need read/write
access privileges to modify the configuration.

To configure protected ports:

1.

Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.

You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.

2.

Launch a web browser.

3.

In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see

field.

Protected ports are marked with a check mark. No traffic forwarding is possible between
two protected ports.

Your settings are saved.

Configure Private VLANs

A private VLAN contains switch ports that cannot communicate with each other, but can

access another network. These ports are called private ports. Each private VLAN contains
one or more private ports and a single uplink port or uplink aggregation group. Note that all
traffic between private ports is blocked at all layers, not just Layer 2 traffic, but also traffic
such as FTP, HTTP, and Telnet.

From the

Security > Management Security > Traffic Control > Private Vlan

menu, you

can access the pages that are described in the following sections:

Configure the Private VLAN Type on page

Configure Private VLAN Association Settings on page
