Private VLAN Commands
The Private VLANs feature separates a regular VLAN domain into two or more subdomains.
Each subdomain is defined (represented) by a primary VLAN and a secondary VLAN. The
primary VLAN ID is the same for all subdomains that belong to a private VLAN. The
secondary VLAN ID differentiates subdomains from each other and provides Layer 2 isolation
between ports of the same private VLAN. The types of VLANs within a private VLAN are as
follows:
• Primary VLAN—Forwards the traf
fic from the promiscuous ports to isolated ports,
community ports, and other promiscuous ports in the same private VLAN. Only one
primary VLAN can be configured per private VLAN. All ports within a private VLAN share
primary VLAN.
• Isolated VLAN—A secondary VLAN that carries traf
fic from isolated ports to promiscuous
ports. Only one isolated VLAN can be configured per private VLAN.
• Community VLAN—A secondary VLAN that forwards traf
fic between ports that belong to
the same community and the promiscuous ports. There can be multiple community
VLANs per private VLAN.
