Creating PVLAN ports
PVLAN ports are ports that will be assigned to the PVLAN.
1. Access INTERFACE mode for the port that you want to assign to a PVLAN.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface interface
2. Enable the port.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
3. Set the port in Layer 2 mode.
INTERFACE mode
switchport
4. Select the PVLAN mode.
INTERFACE mode
switchport mode private-vlan {host | promiscuous | trunk}
• host (isolated or community VLAN port)
• promiscuous (intra-VLAN communication port)
• trunk (inter-switch PVLAN hub port)
For interface details, refer to Enabling a Physical Interface in the Interfaces chapter.
NOTE:
You cannot add interfaces that are configured as PVLAN ports to regular VLANs. You also cannot add “regular”
ports (ports not configured as PVLAN ports) to PVLANs.
The following example shows the switchport mode private-vlan command on a port and on a port channel.
