Protected Ports
Overview
Protected ports provide Layer 2 isolation between interfaces (Ethernet ports
and LAGs) that share the same Broadcast domain (VLAN) with other
interfaces. This can be used to set up a group of ports that receive similar
services.
A protected port does not forward traffic (Unicast, Multicast, or Broadcast) to
any other protected port on the same switch.
A community is a group of protected ports. Protected ports within the same
community can forward traffic to each other.
