Creating PVLAN ports

PVLAN ports are those 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)

Example of the switchport mode private-vlan Command

For interface details, refer to Enabling a Physical Interface in the Interfaces chapter.

  • NOTE: You cannot add interfaces that are configured as PVLAN host or promiscuous ports to regular VLANs. Conversely, you cannot add “regular” ports (ports not configured as PVLAN ports) to PVLANs as a host or promiscuous member.

The example below shows the switchport mode private-vlan command on a port and on a port channel.

                                 Dell(conf-if-te-2/1)#switchport mode private-vlan promiscuous
                                 
                                 Dell(conf)#interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/2
                                 Dell(conf-if-te-2/2)#switchport mode private-vlan host
                                 
                                 Dell(conf)#interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/3
                                 Dell(conf-if-te-2/3)#switchport mode private-vlan trunk
                                 
                                 Dell(conf)#interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/2
                                 Dell(conf-if-te-2/2)#switchport mode private-vlan host
