PVLAN Configuration Guidelines
Consider the following guidelines when you configure protocol-based VLANs:
Each port can support up to 16 VLAN protocols.
The GbESM can support up to 16 protocols simultaneously.
Each PVLAN must have at least one port assigned before it can be activated.
The same port within a port-based VLAN can belong to multiple PVLANs.
An untagged port can be a member of multiple PVLANs.
A port cannot be a member of different VLANs with the same protocol association.
Configuring PVLAN
Follow this procedure to configure a Protocol-based VLAN (PVLAN).
1. Create a VLAN and define the protocol type(s) supported by the VLAN.
2. Configure the priority value for the protocol.
