VLAN Configuration 3

Configuring Private VLANs

The Private VLAN Configuration page is used to create/remove primary, community, or isolated VLANs.

Command Attributes

•VLAN ID – ID of configured VLAN (1-4094).

•Type – There are three types of private VLANs:

-Primary VLANs – Conveys traffic between promiscuous ports, and to community ports within secondary (or community) VLANs.

-Community VLANs - Conveys traffic between community ports, and to their promiscuous ports in the associated primary VLAN.

-Isolated VLANs – Conveys traffic only between the VLAN’s isolated ports and the promiscuous port. Traffic between isolated ports within the VLAN is blocked.

•Current – Displays a list of the currently configured VLANs.

Web – Click VLAN, Private VLAN, Configuration. Enter the VLAN ID number, select Primary, Isolated or Community type, then click Add. To remove a private VLAN from the switch, highlight an entry in the Current list box and then click Remove. Note that all member ports must be removed from the VLAN before it can be deleted.

Associating VLANs

Each community VLAN must be associated with a primary VLAN.

Command Attributes

•Primary VLAN ID – ID of primary VLAN (1-4094).

•Association – Community VLANs associated with the selected primary VLAN.

•Non-Association– Community VLANs not associated with the selected VLAN.
