Configuring Port-based Traffic Segmentation
20
Default Setting
Session 1 if not defined
No segmented port groups are defined.
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
• A port cannot be configured in both an uplink and downlink list.
• A port can only be assigned to one traffic-segmentation session.
• When specifying an uplink or downlink, a list of ports may be entered by using a hyphen or
comma in the port field. Note that lists are not supported for the channel-id field.
• A downlink port can only communicate with an uplink port in the same session. Therefore, if an
uplink port is not configured for a session, the assigned downlink ports will not be able to
communicate with any other ports.
• If a downlink port is not configured for the session, the assigned uplink ports will operate as
normal ports.
Example
This example enables traffic segmentation, and then sets port 10 as the uplink and ports 5-8 as
downlinks.
Console(config)#traffic-segmentation
Console(config)#traffic-segmentation uplink ethernet 1/10 downlink ethernet 1/5-8
Console(config)#
traffic-segmentation uplink-to-uplink
This command specifies whether or not traffic can be forwarded between uplink ports assigned to
different client sessions. Use the no form to restore the default.
Syntax
[no] traffic-segmentation uplink-to-uplink {blocking | forwarding}
blocking – Blocks traffic between uplink ports assigned to different sessions.
forwarding – Forwards traffic between uplink ports assigned to different sessions.
Default Setting
Blocking
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Example
This example enables forwarding of traffic between uplink ports assigned to different client
sessions.
Console(config)#traffic-segmentation uplink-to-uplink forwarding
