Private Group Commands
This section describes commands that are used to configure a private group and view the
configuration information of a private group.
You can use a private group to create a group of ports that either can or cannot share traffic with
each other in the same VLAN group. The main purpose of a private group is to isolate a group of
users from another group of users without using a VLAN.
switchport private-group
This command is used to assign one port or a range of ports to a private group. You specify the
private group by either its name or its identifier. You can specify an interface range by using the
interface <interface-range> command in Interface Config or Global Config mode.
The ingress traffic from a port in a private group can be forwarded to other ports either in the
same privat
e group or outside the private group but in the same VLAN. By default, a port does
not belong to any private group. A port cannot be in more than one private group. To change the
membership of a port in a private group, first remove the port from the private group.
no switchport private-group
This command is used to remove a port from to a private group.
private-group name
This command is used to create a private group with a name or an identifier. The name string can
be up to 24 bytes of non-blank characters. A total number of 192 of private groups is supported.
Therefore, the group identifier can be from 1 to 192.
The private-group-id parameter is optional. If you do not specify a group identifier, the identifier
is assigned aut
omatically.
Term Definition

ts of multiple groups, TRUE displays under the Group ID.
