Port isolation is used to segregate wired clients by preventing traffic exchange between ports. This article explains how to configure isolation on switch ports. To learn more about best practices and example implementations, please read this article.
Port isolation requires a network to be configured with firmware version 4.0 or newer.

Configuration
Isolated ports can either be configured on a per-port basis, or in bulk. To do so, you need to:
- Log into the Plasma Cloud console;
- Select the Organisation and Network containing the Switch from the top right menu;
- Navigate to Switches in the main menu;
- Click on the Switch you wish to configure in the Switch table to open the device details page;
- Scroll down and select the Port Isolation tab;
- Click on an Ethernet or SFP port to isolate it. A double-arrow icon enclosed in brackets will indicate that the port is isolated. To remove port isolation settings from a configured port, simply click on it again. Alternatively, utilize the 'Assign to all' or 'Unassign from all' buttons to apply or remove port isolation settings across the entire switch;
- Press save.
The uplink port needs to remain unisolated at all times. The Plasma Console prevents configuring the uplink port with port isolation to avoid potential network disruptions.

- Scroll down to the Isolation section and enable or disable the toggle as needed;
- Click on the Save button.
