Protected Port Restrictions
The following restrictions apply to protected ports:
• When a protected port is placed in a LAG, it loses its protected port
attribute and takes upon itself the LAG's protection attributes. When the
port is removed from the LAG, its attributes are re-applied.
• Mirrored traffic is not subject to protected ports rules.
• Routing is not affected by the protected port forwarding rule, so that if a
packet enters a protected port, it can be routed by the device to another
protected port.
Protected Port Configuration
To configure protected ports and establish their communities:
1 Click Switching > Ports > Protected Ports in the tree view to display the
Protected Ports: Summary page.
A summary of all the ports and their statuses is displayed.
2 Click Edit.
3 Select the unit and interface.
4 Enter values for the following fields:
• State — Select Protected/Unprotected to enable/disable port
protection.
• Community — Select the community to which to add the port, or
define the port as Isolated.
