TRAFFIC SEGMENTATION COMMANDS

Traffic segmentation allows you to further sub-divide VLANs into smaller groups of ports that will help to reduce traffic on the VLAN. The VLAN rules take precedence, and then the traffic segmentation rules are applied. The traffic segmentation commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the following table.

Command	Parameters
config traffic_segmentation	[<portlist> all] forward_list [null all <portlist>]
show traffic_segmentation	{<portlist>}

Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.

config traffic_segmentation

Purpose	Used to configure traffic segmentation on the Switch.
Syntax	config traffic_segmentation [<portlist> all] forward_list [null
	all <portlist>]

Description

Parameters

The config traffic_segmentation command is used to configure traffic segmentation on the Switch.

<portlist> − Specifies a range of ports that will be configured for traffic segmentation. The port list is specified by listing the lowest slot number and the beginning port number on that slot, separated by a colon. Then the highest slot number, and the highest port number of the range (also separated by a colon) are specified. The beginning and end of the port list range are separated by a dash. For example, 1:3 specifies slot number 1, port 3. 2:4 specifies slot number 2, port 4. 1:3-2:4 specifies all of the ports between slot 1, port 3 and slot 2, port 4 − in numerical order.

all – Specifies all ports on the Switch.

forward_list − Specifies a port or range of ports that will receive forwarded frames from the ports specified in the portlist, above.

	• null − No ports are specified
	• all – Specifies all ports on the Switch.
	• <portlist> − Specifies a range of ports for the forwarding list.
	This list must be on the same switch previously specified
	for traffic segmentation (i.e. following the <portlist>
	specified above for config traffic_segmentation).
Restrictions	Only administrator-level users can issue this command.

Example usage:

To configure ports 1 through 10 to be able to forward frames to port 11 through 15:

DES-6500:4# config traffic_segmentation 1:1-1:10 forward_list 1:11-1:15

Command: config traffic_segmentation 1:1-1:10 forward_list 1:11-1:15

Success.

DES-6500:4#
