Port Type:		Permits Traffic To and From					Notes
		This Port Type?				Private Ports
	Uplink Ports	Public Ports	Group1 Ports	Group2 Ports	Local Ports
Public	Yes	Yes	No	No	Yes	No	Typical switch ports: For intra-switch operation, allows communi-
Ports							cation among end nodes on public and local ports, and between end
							nodes on public ports and the uplink port(s).
Uplink	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Allows communication between uplink ports and end nodes on
Ports							public and private ports. Uplink ports are intended for connecting
							the switch to the network core. When you enable port isolation on
							the switch, Uplink is the default port-isolation mode setting for
							individual ports.
Group1	Yes	No	Yes	No	No	No	Allows communication among end nodes on other group-1 ports,
Ports							and between end nodes on Group1 ports and the Uplink port(s).
Group2	Yes	No	No	Yes	No	No	Allows communication among end nodes on other Group2 ports,
Ports							and between end nodes on Group2 ports and the Uplink port(s).
Local	No	Yes	No	No	Yes	No	Allows communication among end nodes on local and public ports.
Ports
Private	Yes	No	No	No	No	No	Allows communication only between end nodes and uplink ports.
