 ETH Function Setting ‒ QoS/Ingress Setting (1 of 2)

Ingress
At the Ingress of the traffic, assign the incoming priority and then perform flow
control according to the predetermined policer, coloring the frame with Yellow or
Green which decide the QoS queue at the egress, discarding the frames of the
traffic that exceed the designated bandwidth (EIR, Excess Information Rate).

 Ether Function Setting ‒ Port Isolate

assigning ports to different VLANs is a typical way to isolate Layer 2 traffic for
data privacy and security, but this way is VLAN resource demanding. To save
VLAN resources, you can use the port isolation feature, which can isolate
ports without using VLANs and allows for great flexibility and security.
To use this feature, you can assign ports to a port isolation group. Ports in an
isolation group are called “isolated ports”. Within the same VLAN, the ports in
the same isolation group are isolated from each other, and can communicate
with ports outside of the isolation group
