How to Configure Port Isolation Function on Our Layer 2 Manage switches through Web Browser?
39920 By using port isolation function, you can achieve the goal of preventing PCs under different ports communicating with each other without configuring VLAN.
How to configure：
Step1: Open your browser and log in the web interface of you switch.
Step2: please go to Switching->Port->Port Isolation->Port Isolation Config.
Port: Choose a port (assume it is port 1) you need to configure.

An example:
Topology:
PC1 connect to port 1, PC2 connect to port 2, PC3 connect to port 3, server A connect to port 4, server B connect to port 5.
Goal:
PC1, PC2, PC3 can’t communicate with each other, PC1 can access both server A and server B, PC2, PC3 can only access server A.
The configuration process is as follows:
