Private VLANs Configuration Guidelines
The following guidelines apply when configuring Private VLANs:
The management VLAN 4095 cannot be a Private VLAN. Management port 19 cannot be a
member of a Private VLAN.
The default VLAN 1 cannot be a Private VLAN.
Protocol-based VLANs cannot be used the same ports as Private VLANs. Protocol-based
VLANs must be disabled on ports that use Private VLANs.
IGMP Snooping must be disabled on isolated VLANs.
Each secondary port’s (isolated port and community ports) PVID must match its corresponding
secondary VLAN ID.
Private VLAN ports cannot be members of a trunk group. Link Aggregation Control Protocol
(LACP) must be turned off on ports within a Private VLAN.
Ports within a secondary VLAN cannot be members of other VLANs.
All VLANs that comprise the Private VLAN must belong to the same Spanning Tree Group.
Blade servers connected to downlink ports (secondary VLAN ports) must be configured to tag
packets with the primary VLAN number.
Private VLANs Configuration Example
Follow this procedure to configure a Private VLAN.
1. Select a VLAN and define the Private VLAN type as primary.
2. Configure a secondary VLAN and map it to the primary VLAN.
>> /cfg/l2/vlan 100 (Select VLAN 100)
>> VLAN 100# privlan/type primary (Define the Private VLAN type)
Current Private-VLAN type:
Pending Private-VLAN type: primary
>> privlan# ena
>> /cfg/l2/vlan 110 (Select VLAN 110)
>> VLAN 110# privlan/type isolated (Define the Private VLAN type)
Current Private-VLAN type:
Pending Private-VLAN type: isolated
>> privlan# map 100 (Map to the primary VLAN)
Vlan 110 is mapped to the primary vlan 100.
Vlan 110 port(s) will be added to vlan 100.
>> privlan# ena
>> privlan# apply (Apply the configuration)
>> privlan# save (Save your changes)
