Private Group Commands
This section describes commands used to configure private group and view private group
configuration information.
Private group can be used to create a group of ports that can or can not share traffic to each others
in the same VLAN group. The main application is to isolate a group of users from another without
using VLAN.
switchport private-group
This command is used to assign one port or a range of ports to private group <privategroup-name>
(or <private-group-id>).
The ingress traffic from a port in private group can be forwarded to other ports either in the same
private group or anyone in the same VLAN that are not in a private group.
By default, a port does not belong to any private group. A port cannot be in more than one private
group. An error message should return when that occurred. To change a port’s private group, first
the port must be removed from its private group.
