ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches
The Private Edge VLAN feature lets you set protection between ports located on the switch. This
means that a protected port cannot forward traffic to another protected port on the same switch.
The feature does not provide protection between ports located on different switches.
The diagram in this section shows a switch with four ports configured to handle the traffic for two
VLANs. Port 1/0/2 handles traf
fic for both VLANs, while port 1/0/1 is a member of VLAN 2 only,
and ports 1/0/3 and 1/0/4 are members of VLAN 3 only. The script following the diagram shows
the commands you would use to configure the switch as shown in the diagram.
