Creating a Community VLAN
A community VLAN is a secondary VLAN of the primary VLAN in a private VLAN. The ports in a
community VLAN can talk to each other and with the promiscuous ports in the primary VLAN.
Creating an Isolated VLAN
An isolated VLAN is a secondary VLAN of a primary VLAN. Its ports can only talk with the promiscuous
ports in that primary VLAN.
