Traffic Segmentation
Traffic segmentation is used to limit traffic flow from a single port to a group of ports on the Switch.
This method of segmenting the flow of traffic is similar to using VLANs to limit traffic, but is more
restrictive. It provides a method of directing traffic that does not increase the overhead of the Switch
CPU. This window allows the user to view which ports on the Switch are allowed to forward packets to
other ports on the Switch. To configure new forwarding ports for a particular port, select a port from
the From Port and To Port drop-down menus and click Apply.

Activity Active - Active LACP ports are capable of processing and sending LACP
control frames. This allows LACP compliant devices to negotiate the
aggregated link so the group may be changed dynamically as needs require.
In order to utilize the ability to change an aggregated port group, that is, to
add or subtract ports from the group, at least one of the participating devices
must designate LACP ports as active. Both devices must support LACP.
Passive - LACP ports that are designated as passive cannot initially send
LACP control frames. In order to allow the linked port group to negotiate
adjustments and make changes dynamically, one end of the connection must
have "active" LACP ports (see above).
