Hi Kurt

A possible example is 2 VLANs u want to keep completely separate from each
other, even when routing between VLANs is possible thru SVIs.

Subject: 3550 Protected Ports

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
