switchport protected (Global Config)

Use this command to create a protected port group. The groupid parameter identifies the set of protected ports. Use the name name pair to assign a name to the protected port group. The name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long, including blanks. The default is blank.

Note

Port protection occurs within a single switch. Protected port configuration does not affect traffic between ports on two different switches. No traffic forwarding is possible between two protected ports.
