Private VLAN Conguration Example
The following example shows a private VLAN topology.
Figure 93. Sample Private VLAN Topology
The following conguration is based on the example diagram for the FN IOM switch:
• TenGig 0/0 and TenGig 0/23 are congured as promiscuous ports, assigned to the primary VLAN, VLAN 4000.
• TenGig 0/25 is congured as a PVLAN trunk port, also assigned to the primary VLAN 4000.
• TenGig 0/24 and TenGig 0/47 are congured as host ports and assigned to the isolated VLAN, VLAN 4003.
• TenGig 4/0 and TenGig 0/23 are congured as host ports and assigned to the community VLAN, VLAN 4001.
• TenGig 4/24 and TenGig 4/47 are congured as host ports and assigned to community VLAN 4002.
The result is that:
• The ports in community VLAN 4001 can communicate directly with each other and with promiscuous ports.
• The ports in community VLAN 4002 can communicate directly with each other and with promiscuous ports.
• The ports in isolated VLAN 4003 can only communicate with the promiscuous ports in the primary VLAN 4000.
• All the ports in the secondary VLANs (both community and isolated VLANs) can only communicate with ports in the other secondary
VLANs of that PVLAN over Layer 3, and only when the ip local-proxy-arp command is invoked in the primary VLAN.
