Introduction to Port Isolation

To implement Layer 2 isolation, you can add different ports to different VLANs. However, this will waste
the limited VLAN resource. With port isolation, the ports can be isolated within the same VLAN. Thus,
you need only to add the ports to the isolation group to implement Layer 2 and Layer 3 isolation. This
provides you with more secure and flexible networking schemes.

On the current device:

z

A device supports only one isolation group that is created automatically by the system as Isolation
Group 1. The user can neither delete the isolation group nor create other isolation groups.

z

There is no restriction on the number of ports to be added to an isolation group.

z

A port inside an isolation group and a port outside the isolation group can communicate with each
other at Layer 2 and Layer 3. Ports of the isolation group cannot communicate with each other.
