Private VLANs
Private VLANs partitions a regular VLAN domain into subdomains. Such a subdomain is created when a primary VLAN is paired with a secondary VLAN. Only a switch in VTP Transparent mode supports Private VLANs
Primary VLAN
To set a VLAN as Primary VLAN, use:
After the secondary VLANs are configured, they are associated with the primary VLAN, using the following confing form withing the primary vlan:
To verify, use:
Secondary VLANs
Secondary VLANs can be condfigured as Isolated or as Community VLANs. Private VLANs work over different switches, as long as the Private VLANs and the primary VLANs are carried over the trunk links.
Isolated VLANs
Ports within the isolated VLAN cannot communicate with each other at Layer.
Community VLANs
Ports within the Community VLAN can communicate with ports in the same Community VLAN but not with ports in other Community VLANs or with ports in the Isolated VLAN.
Private VLAN Ports
To configure a port as part of a private VLAN, use:
Promiscuous Ports
A promiscuous ports belongs to the primary VLAN and can communicate with all interfaces in the primary VLAN, including ports in the isolated and community secondary VLANs. To set up a promiscuous port, use:
You can also map the VLANs to a promiscuous port using:
Isolated Ports
It is a port that belongs to the Isolted Secondary VLAN. It can only communicate with promiscuous ports.To set an isolated port, use:
You can alos map the VLANs to a isolated port, using:
Community Ports
It is a port that is part of a Community Secondary VLAN and it can only communicate with other ports in the same Community or with promiscuous ports.To set a community port, use:
You can alos map the VLANs to a community port, using:
Mapping Secondary VLANs to Primary Layer3 VLANs
To allow inter-vlan routing, the secondary VLANs must be mapped to the L3 SVI:
To monitor, use:
