What is Port Isolation?

Port Isolation is a network feature that restricts communication between devices connected to different ports on the same switch yet allows connected devices to communicate with the switch. Port Isolation prevents direct communication between isolated ports, enhancing security by segmenting network traffic. Port isolation is used to prevent unauthorized access and reduce potential security risks in scenarios like guest networks or public access areas. It ensures that devices on the same network cannot interact with each other unless explicitly allowed.
