Private VLAN Ports
Within a private VLAN domain, there are three separate port designations. Each port designation has its
own unique set of rules that regulate the ability of one endpoint to communicate with other connected
endpoints within the same private VLAN domain. The following are the three port designations:

• Isolated
• Community
For additional information about private VLANs, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V Layer 2 Switching
