Group,

I have trouble using these 2 commands. Can't really differenciate situations where one fits more
than the other. The idea is to restrict communication b/n 2 ports belonging to the same vlan.

1) which one should i use, considering there is no restriction on creating an extra vlan ?

- switchport protected (or)
- port in isolated vlan

2) Secondly, if 2 servers on the same vlan but on different switches shouldn't talk to each other,
then what is the way to go ?

Thnx,
Naveen.
