Command
History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage
Information
The VLAN:
● can be in only one mode, either community, isolated, or primary.
● mode ode to community or isolated even before associating it to a primary VLAN. This secondary
VLAN continues to work normally as a normal VLAN even though it is not associated to a primary
VLAN. (A syslog message indicates this.)
● must not have a port in it when VLAN mode is being set.
Only ports (and port channels) configured as promiscuous, host, or PVLAN trunk ports (as previously
described) can be added to the PVLAN. No other regular ports can be added to the PVLAN.
After using this command to configure a VLAN as a primary VLAN, use the private-vlan mapping
secondary-vlan command to map secondary VLANs to this VLAN.
