Ethernet SGT Protection

For a Cisco TrustSec network, create a Zone Protection profile to drop packets having specific Security Group Tags (SGTs).
  • Network > Network Profiles > Zone Protection > Ethernet SGT Protection
For a firewall in a Cisco TrustSec network, create a Zone Protection profile with a list of Layer 2 Security Group Tags (SGTs) that you want to exclude. Apply the Zone Protection profile to a Layer 2, virtual wire, or tap interface. If an incoming packet with an 802.1Q (Ethertype 0x8909) header has an SGT that matches an SGT in your list, the firewall drops the packet.
