10.2.2 Configuring Uplink and Downlink Ports
Use the Private VLAN Link Status page to set ports as downlink or uplink ports. Ports designated as
downlink ports can not communicate with any other ports on the switch except for the uplink ports. Uplink
ports can communicate with any other ports on the switch and with any designated downlink ports.
Configuring Switch Using the Web or CLI
Web
Click VLAN – Private VLAN, Link Status. Mark the ports that will serve as uplinks and downlinks for the
private VLAN, then click Apply.
CLI
This configures ports 3 and 4 as uplinks and ports 5 and 6 as downlinks.
Console(config)#pvlan uplink ethernet 1/3-4 downlink ethernet 1/5-6

10.3 Configuring Protocol-Based VLANs
The network devices required to support multiple protocols cannot be easily grouped into a common VLAN.
This may require non-standard devices to pass traffic between different VLANs in order to encompass all the
devices participating in a specific protocol. This kind of configuration deprives users of the basic benefits of
VLANs, including security and easy accessibility.
To avoid these problems, you can configure this switch with protocol-based VLANs that divide the physical
network into logical VLAN groups for each required protocol. When a frame is received at a port, its VLAN
membership can then be determined based on the protocol type being used by the inbound packets.
Usage Guidelines
To configure protocol-based VLANs, follow these steps:
