Private Group Commands
This section describes commands used to configure private group and view private group
configuration information.
Private group can be used to create a group of ports that can or can not share traffic to each
others in the same VLAN group. The main application is to isolate a group of users from
another without using VLAN.
switchport private-group
This command is used to assign one port or a range of ports to private group
<privategroup-name> (or <private-group-id>).
The ingress traffic from a port in private group can be forwarded to other ports either in the
same private group or anyone in the same VLAN that are not in a private group.
By default, a port does not belong to any private group. A port cannot be in more than one
private group. An error message should return when that occurred. To change a port’s private
group, first the port must be removed from its private group.

private-group name
This command is used to create a private group with name <private-group-name>. The name
string can be up to 24 bytes of non-blank characters. The total number of private groups is
192 such that the valid range for the ID is <1-192>.
The <private-group-id> field is optional. If not specified, a group id not used will be assigned
automatically.
The mode can be either “isolated” or “community”. When in “isolated” mode, the member port
in the group cannot forward its egress traffic to any other members in the same group. By
default, the mode is “community” mode that each member port can forward traffic to other
members in the same group, but not to members in other groups.
