Private VLAN Configuration Task List
The following sections contain the procedures that configure a private VLAN:
• Creating PVLAN ports
• Creating a Primary VLAN on page 633
• Creating a Community VLAN on page 634
• Creating an Isolated VLAN on page 634
Creating PVLAN ports
Private VLAN ports are those that will be assigned to the private VLAN (PVLAN).
For interface details, see Enable a Physical Interface on page 332 in Chapter 17, Interfaces.
Figure 31-1 shows the use of the
switchport mode private-vlan command on a port and on a port channel:
Figure 31-1. Examples of switchport mode private-vlan Command
Step Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
1
interface interface CONFIGURATION Access the INTERFACE mode for the port that you want to
assign to a PVLAN.
2
no shutdown
INTERFACE Enable the port.
3
switchport INTERFACE Set the port in Layer 2 mode.
4
switchport mode
private-vlan {host |
promiscuous | trunk}
INTERFACE Select the PVLAN mode:
• host (port in isolated or community VLAN)
• promiscuous (intra-VLAN communication port)
• trunk (inter-switch PVLAN hub port)
Note: Interfaces that are configured as PVLAN ports cannot be added to regular VLANs. Conversely,
“regular” ports (ports not configured as PVLAN ports) cannot be added to PVLANs.
