Command Usage
• A private VLAN provides port-based security and isolation between ports
within the VLAN. Data traffic on the downlink ports can only be forwarded to,
and from, the uplink port. Data cannot pass between downlink ports in the
same private VLAN, nor to ports which do not belong to a private VLAN.
• Any port can be defined as an uplink port or downlink port, but cannot
configured to serve both roles.
• Private VLANs and normal VLANs can exist simultaneously within the same
switch. Traffic may pass freely between uplink ports in private VLANs and
ports in normal VLANs.
• Enter the
pvlan
command without any parameters to enable the private VLAN
functions. Then set the interface members for the private VLAN.
• Enter no pvlan to disable private VLAN functions and clear the configuration
settings for the PVLAN.
