and Downlink Ports
Use the Interface > Traffic Segmentation (Configure Session) page to assign the
downlink and uplink ports to use in the segmented group. Ports designated as
downlink ports can not communicate with any other ports on the switch except for
the uplink ports. Uplink ports can communicate with any other ports on the switch
and with any designated downlink ports.
