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 ports to regular VLANs. Conversely, you
cannot add “regular” ports (ports not configured as PVLAN ports) to PVLANs.
The example below shows the switchport mode private-vlan command on a port and on a port
channel.
