•PVE only operates on interfaces that do not belong to VLANs that have IP
addresses.
•PVE supports private communication by isolating PVE-defined ports and
ensuring that all Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast traffic from these ports is
only forwarded to uplink port(s).
•PVE requires only one VLAN on each device, but not on every port; this
reduces the number of VLANs required by the device. Private VLANs and
the default VLAN function simultaneously in the same device.
Example
This example configures ethernet port 2 as a protected port, so that all traffic is
sent to its uplink (Ethernet port 3).
