Port isolation group configuration

Overview

Port isolation enables isolating Layer 2 traffic for data privacy and security without using VLANs. You can

also use this feature to isolate the hosts in a VLAN from one another.
The device supports multiple isolation groups which can be configured manually. There is no restriction

on the number of ports assigned to an isolation group.

NOTE:

The member port of an aggregation group cannot be configured as the uplink port of an isolation group
and vice versa. If you assign a port to an aggregation group and to an isolation group as the uplink port
at the same time, the aggregation group configuration will take effect and the isolation group

configuration will be removed for backward configuration file compatibility. For more information about

link aggregation, see the chapter "

Link aggregation and LACP configuration

."

Usually, Layer 2 traffic cannot be forwarded between ports in different VLANs. However, Layer 2 traffic

in the same VLAN can be bidirectionally transmitted within and outside the isolation group.
