Hey Everyone,

I'm studying up on the functionality of the 3550, and came across a topic that I hope someone can clarify for me.

Protected ports (switchport protected) keep traffic from being passed between two protected ports....but both
ports can send and receive data from unprotected ports? So, basically.....protected ports 'see' all other unprotected
ports, but don't 'see' any protected ports.... is that a fair summary?

Can someone clarify that as well as give me an example of where someone might use these feature in a real world setup.

Thanks,
Kurt
