Private VLAN (PVLAN) | 1185
To disable Layer 3 communication between secondary VLANs in a private VLAN, 
use the 
no ip local-proxy-arp command in the INTERFACE VLAN mode for the 
primary VLAN. 
To disable Layer 3 communication in a particular secondary VLAN, use the 
no ip 
local-proxy-arp
 command in the INTERFACE VLAN mode for the selected 
secondary VLAN.
Note: Even after 
ip-local-proxy-arp is disabled (no ip-local-proxy-arp) in a secondary 
VLAN, Layer 3 communication may happen between some secondary VLAN hosts, 
until the ARP timeout happens on those secondary VLAN hosts.
