Command List

This table lists the commands most commonly used with PVLANs.

Private VLANs

The private VLAN feature addresses two problems that service providers face when using VLANs:

•The switch supports up to 1005 active VLANs. If a service provider assigns one VLAN per customer, this limits the numbers of customers the service provider can support.

•To enable IP routing, each VLAN is assigned a subnet address space or a block of addresses, which can result in wasting the unused IP addresses, and cause IP address management problems.

Using private VLANs provides scalability and IP address management benefits for service providers and Layer 2 security for customers. Private VLANs partition a regular VLAN domain into subdomains. A subdomain is represented by a pair of VLANs: a primary VLAN and a secondary VLAN. A private VLAN can have multiple VLAN pairs, one pair for each subdomain. All VLAN pairs in a private VLAN share the same primary VLAN. The secondary VLAN ID differentiates one subdomain from another. See Figure 35-1.

Figure 35-1 Private-VLAN Domain

There are two types of secondary VLANs:

•Isolated VLANs—Ports within an isolated VLAN cannot communicate with each other at the Layer 2 level.

•Community VLANs—Ports within a community VLAN can communicate with each other but cannot communicate with ports in other communities at the Layer 2 level.

A promiscuous port can serve only one primary VLAN, one isolated VLAN, and multiple community VLANs. Layer 3 gateways are typically connected to the switch through a promiscuous port.

In a switched environment, you can assign an individual private VLAN and associated IP subnet to each individual or common group of end stations. The end stations need to communicate only with a default gateway to communicate outside the private VLAN.

You can use private VLANs to control access to end stations in these ways:

•Configure selected interfaces connected to end stations as isolated ports to prevent any communication at Layer 2. For example, if the end stations are servers, this configuration prevents Layer 2 communication between the servers.

•Configure interfaces connected to default gateways and selected end stations (such as, backup servers) as promiscuous ports to allow all end stations access to a default gateway.

•Reduce VLAN and IP subnet consumption; you can prevent traffic between end stations even though they are in the same VLAN and IP subnet.

With a promiscuous port, you can connect a wide range of devices as access points to a PVLAN. For example, you can connect a promiscuous port to the server port of a LocalDirector to connect an isolated VLAN or a number of community VLANs to the server. LocalDirector can load balance the servers present in the isolated or community VLANs, or use a promiscuous port to monitor or back up all the PVLAN servers from an administration workstation.

Definition Table

Private VLANs across Multiple Switches

This section discusses the following topics:

•Standard Trunk Ports

•Isolated Private VLAN Trunk Ports

•Promiscuous Private VLAN Trunk Ports

Standard Trunk Ports

As with regular VLANs, private VLANs can span multiple switches. A trunk port carries the primary VLAN and secondary VLANs to a neighboring switch. The trunk port treats the private VLAN as any other VLAN. A feature of private VLANs across multiple switches is that traffic from an isolated port in switch A does not reach an isolated port on Switch B. See Figure 35-2.

To maintain the security of your private-VLAN configuration and to avoid other use of the VLANs configured as private VLANs, configure private VLANs on all intermediate devices, including devices that have no private-VLAN ports.

Note Trunk ports carry traffic from regular VLANs and also from primary, isolated, and community VLANs.

Note You should use standard trunk ports if both switches undergoing trunking support PVLANs.

Figure 35-2 Private VLANs across Switches

Because VTP does not support private VLANs, you must manually configure private VLANs on all switches in the Layer 2 network. If you do not configure the primary and secondary VLAN association in some switches in the network, the Layer 2 databases in these switches are not merged. This can result in unnecessary flooding of private-VLAN traffic on those switches.

Isolated Private VLAN Trunk Ports

You would use a isolated PVLAN trunk ports when you would anticipate using PVLAN isolated host ports to carry multiple VLANs, either normal VLANs or for multiple PVLAN domains. This makes it useful for connecting a downstream switch that does not support PVLANs (like Catalyst 2950).

Figure 35-3 Isolated PVLAN Trunk Ports

In this illustration, a Catalyst 4500 switch is being used to connect a downstream switch that does not support PVLANs.

Traffic being sent in the downstream direction towards host1 from the router is received by the
Catalyst  4500 series switch on the promiscuous port and in the primary VLAN (VLAN 10). The packets are then switched out of the isolated PVLAN trunk, but rather than being tagged with the primary VLAN (VLAN 10) they are instead transmitted with the isolated VLAN's tag (VLAN 11). In this way, when the packets arrive on the non-PVLAN switch, they can be bridged to the destination host's access port.

Traffic in the upstream direction is sent by host1 to the non-PVLAN switch, arriving in VLAN 11. The packets are then transmitted to the Catalyst 4500 series switch tagged with that VLAN's tag (VLAN 11) over the trunk port. On the Catalyst 4500 series switch, VLAN 11 is configured as the isolated vlan, and the traffic is forwarded as if it came from an isolated host port.

Note When an isolated trunk is used in this fashion, the Catalyst 4500 series switch provides isolation between the isolated trunk and directly connected hosts (such as host3), but not between hosts connected to the non-PVLAN switch (such as host1 and host2). Isolation between these hosts must be provided by the non-PVLAN switch, using a feature such as protected ports on a Catalyst 2950.

For details on protected ports, see the URL:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst2950/software/release/12.1_22_ea11x/configuration/guide/swtrafc.html#wp1158863

Promiscuous Private VLAN Trunk Ports

PVLAN Promiscuous Trunks are used in situations where one would normally use a PVLAN promiscuous host port but where it is necessary to carry multiple vlans, either normal vlans or for multiple PVLAN domains. This makes it useful for connecting an upstream router that does not support Private VLANs, such as a Cisco 7200.

Figure 35-4 Promiscuous PVLAN Trunk Ports

In this illustration, a Catalyst 4500 series switch is being used to connect a PVLAN domain to an upstream router which does not support PVLANs. Traffic being sent upstream by host1 arrives on the
Catalyst 4500 series switch in the community VLAN (VLAN 12). When this traffic is bridged onto the promiscuous PVLAN trunk towards the router, it is tagged with the primary VLAN (VLAN 10), so that it can be routed via the correct subinterface configured on the router.

Traffic in the downstream direction is received on the promiscuous PVLAN trunk port by the
Catalyst  4500  switch in the primary VLAN (VLAN 10), just as if it had been received on a promiscous host port. It can then be bridged to the destination host as in any PVLAN domain.

PVLAN promiscuous trunks interact with VLAN QoS. Refer to the section "PVLANs and VLAN ACL/QoS" section.

Private-VLAN Interaction with Other Features

Private VLANs have specific interaction with some other features, described in these sections:

•PVLANs and VLAN ACL/QoS

•Private VLANs and Unicast, Broadcast, and Multicast Traffic

•Private VLANs and SVIs

•Per-Virtual-Port Error Disable on Private Vlans

For details, see the section "PVLAN Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions" on page 11.

PVLANs and VLAN ACL/QoS

PVLAN ports use primary and secondary VLANs, as follows:

•A packet received on a PVLAN host port belongs to the secondary VLAN.

•A packet received on a PVLAN trunk port belongs to the secondary VLAN if the packet is tagged with a secondary VLAN or if the packet is untagged and the native VLAN on the port is a secondary VLAN.

A packet received on a PVLAN host or trunk port and assigned to a secondary VLAN is bridged on the secondary VLAN. Because of this bridging, the secondary VLAN ACL as well as the secondary VLAN QoS (on input direction) apply.

When a packet is transmitted out of a PVLAN host or trunk port, the packet logically belongs to the primary VLAN. This relationship applies even though the packet may be transmitted with the secondary VLAN tagging for PVLAN trunk ports. In this situation, the primary VLAN ACL and the primary VLAN QoS on output apply to the packet.

•Similarly, a packet received on a PVLAN promiscuous access port belongs to primary VLAN.

•A packet received on a PVLAN promiscuous trunk port could belong to the primary VLAN or normal VLAN depending on incoming VLAN.

For traffic flowing in normal VLAN on promiscuous trunk ports, normal VLAN ACL and QoS policies apply. For traffic flowing in a private VLAN domain, a packet received on a promiscuous port is bridged in primary VLAN. Therefore, the primary VLAN ACL and QoS policies apply on input.

When a packet is transmitted out of a promiscuous trunk port, the packet could logically belong to secondary VLAN if received from a secondary port, or in primary VLAN if bridged from another promiscuous port. Because we cannot differentiate between both packets, all VLAN QoS policies are ignored on packets egressing promiscuous trunk ports.

Private VLANs and Unicast, Broadcast, and Multicast Traffic

In regular VLANs, devices in the same VLAN can communicate with each other at the Layer 2 level, but devices connected to interfaces in different VLANs must communicate at the Layer 3 level. In private VLANs, the promiscuous ports are members of the primary VLAN, while the host ports belong to secondary VLANs. Because the secondary VLAN is associated to the primary VLAN, members of the these VLANs can communicate with each other at the Layer 2 level.

In a regular VLAN, broadcasts are forwarded to all ports in that VLAN. Private VLAN broadcast forwarding depends on the port sending the broadcast:

•An isolated port sends a broadcast only to the promiscuous ports or trunk ports.

•A community port sends a broadcast to all promiscuous ports, trunk ports, and ports in the same community VLAN.

•A promiscuous port sends a broadcast to all ports in the private VLAN (other promiscuous ports, trunk ports, isolated ports, and community ports).

Multicast traffic is routed or bridged across private-VLAN boundaries and within a single community VLAN. Multicast traffic is not forwarded between ports in the same isolated VLAN or between ports in different secondary VLANs.

Private VLANs and SVIs

In a Layer 3 switch, a switch virtual interface (SVI) represents the Layer 3 interface of a VLAN. Layer 3 devices communicate with a private VLAN only through the primary VLAN and not through secondary VLANs. Configure Layer 3 VLAN interfaces (SVIs) only for primary VLANs. You cannot configure Layer 3 VLAN interfaces for secondary VLANs. SVIs for secondary VLANs are inactive while the VLAN is configured as a secondary VLAN.

•If you try to configure a VLAN with an active SVI as a secondary VLAN, the configuration is not allowed until you disable the SVI.

•If you try to create an SVI on a VLAN that is configured as a secondary VLAN and the secondary VLAN is already mapped at Layer 3, the SVI is not created, and an error is returned. If the SVI is not mapped at Layer 3, the SVI is created, but it is automatically shut down.

When the primary VLAN is associated with and mapped to the secondary VLAN, any configuration on the primary VLAN is propagated to the secondary VLAN SVIs. For example, if you assign an IP subnet to the primary VLAN SVI, this subnet is the IP subnet address of the entire private VLAN.

Per-Virtual-Port Error Disable on Private Vlans

For private VLANs, per-vp error disable behavior is defined as follows:

•On a PVLAN promiscuous or promiscuous trunk ports, if a violation occurs on the primary VLAN, it is error disabled.

•On a PVLAN host or trunk port, if a violation occurs on the secondary VLAN, the associated primary VLAN is error disabled.

•On a standard trunk port that carries both primary and secondary VLANs, if a violation occurs on the primary VLAN, this VLAN and all its associated secondary VLANs are error disabled. If a violation occurs on a secondary VLAN, the associated primary VLAN and all its associated secondary VLANs are error disabled.

Tasks for Configuring Private VLANs

To configure a PVLAN, follow these steps:

Step 1 Set VTP mode to transparent. See the "VLAN Trunking Protocol" section.

Step 2 Create the secondary VLANs. See the "Configuring a VLAN as a PVLAN" section.

Step 3 Create the primary VLAN. See the "Configuring a VLAN as a PVLAN" section.

Step 4 Associate the secondary VLAN to the primary VLAN. See the "Associating a Secondary VLAN with a Primary VLAN" section.

Note Only one isolated VLAN can be mapped to a primary VLAN, but more than one community VLAN can be mapped to a primary VLAN.

Step 5 Configure an interface as an isolated or community host or trunk port. See the "Configuring a Layer 2 Interface as a PVLAN Host Port" section and "Configuring a Layer 2 Interface as an Isolated PVLAN Trunk Port" section.

Step 6 Associate the isolated port or community port to the primary-secondary VLAN pair. See the "Associating a Secondary VLAN with a Primary VLAN" section.

Step 7 Configure an interface as a promiscuous port. See the "Configuring a Layer 2 Interface as a PVLAN Promiscuous Port" section.

Step 8 Map the promiscuous port to the primary-secondary VLAN pair. See the "Configuring a Layer 2 Interface as a PVLAN Promiscuous Port" section.

Step 9 If you plan to use inter-VLAN routing, configure the primary SVI, and map secondary VLANs to the primary. See the "Permitting Routing of Secondary VLAN Ingress Traffic" section.

Step 10 Verify private-VLAN configuration. See the "Switch#" section.

Default Private-VLAN Configuration

No private VLANs are configured.

PVLAN Configuration Guidelines and Restrictions

Follow these guidelines when configuring PVLANs:

•To configure a PVLAN correctly, enable VTP in transparent mode in VTP version 1 and
VTP version 2. (VTP version 3 enables you to create it in server mode).

You cannot change the VTP mode to client or server for PVLANs.

•Do not include VLAN 1 or VLANs 1002 through 1005 in PVLANs.

•Use only PVLAN commands to assign ports to primary, isolated, or community VLANs.

Layer 2 interfaces on primary, isolated, or community VLANs are inactive in PVLANs. Layer 2 trunk interfaces remain in the STP forwarding state.

•You cannot configure Layer 3 VLAN interfaces for secondary VLANs.

Layer 3 VLAN interfaces for isolated and community (secondary) VLANs are inactive while the VLAN is configured as an isolated or community VLAN.

•Do not configure private VLAN ports as EtherChannels. While a port is part of the private VLAN configuration, its associated EtherChannel configuration is inactive.

•Do not apply dynamic access control entries (ACEs) to primary VLANs.

Cisco IOS dynamic ACL configuration applied to a primary VLAN is inactive while the VLAN is part of the PVLAN configuration.

•To prevent spanning tree loops due to misconfigurations, enable PortFast on the PVLAN trunk ports with the spanning-tree portfast trunk command.

•Any VLAN ACL configured on a secondary VLAN is effective in the input direction, and any VLAN ACL configured on the primary VLAN associated with the secondary VLAN is effective in the output direction.

•You can stop Layer 3 switching on an isolated or community VLAN by deleting the mapping of that VLAN with its primary VLAN.

•PVLAN ports can be on different network devices as long as the devices are trunk-connected and the primary and secondary VLANs remain associated with the trunk

•Isolated ports on two different devices cannot communicate with each other, but community VLAN ports can.

•Private VLANs support the following SPAN features:

–You can configure a private VLAN port as a SPAN source port.

–You can use VLAN-based SPAN (VSPAN) on primary, isolated, and community VLANs or use SPAN on only one VLAN to monitor egress or ingress traffic separately.

For more information about SPAN, see Chapter 46 "Configuring SPAN and RSPAN."

•A primary VLAN can be associated with multiple community VLANs, but only one isolated VLAN.

•An isolated or community VLAN can be associated with only one primary VLAN.

•If you delete a VLAN used in a private VLAN configuration, the private VLAN ports associated with the VLAN become inactive.

•VTP does not support private VLANs. You must configure private VLANs on each device in which you plan to use private VLAN ports.

•To maintain the security of your PVLAN configuration and avoid other use of VLANs configured as PVLANs, configure PVLANs on all intermediate devices, even if the devices have no PVLAN ports.

•Prune the PVLANs from trunks on devices that carry no traffic in the PVLANs.

•With port ACLS functionality available, you can apply Cisco IOS ACLS to secondary VLAN ports and Cisco IOS ACLS to PVLANS (VACLs). For more information on VACLs, see Chapter 42 "Configuring Network Security with ACLs."

•You can apply different quality of service (QoS) configurations to primary, isolated, and community VLANs. (See Chapter 33 "Configuring Quality of Service.") Cisco IOS ACLs applied to the Layer 3 VLAN interface of a primary VLAN automatically apply to the associated isolated and community VLANs.

•On a PVLAN trunk port a secondary VLAN ACL is applied on ingress traffic and a primary VLAN ACL is applied on egress traffic.

•On a promiscuous port the primary VLAN ACL is applied on ingress traffic.

•Both PVLAN secondary and promiscuous trunk ports support only IEEE 802.1q encapsulation.

•Community VLANs cannot be propagated or carried over private VLAN trunks.

•ARP entries learned on Layer 3 PVLAN interfaces are termed "sticky" ARP entries (we recommend that you display and verify PVLAN interface ARP entries).

•For security reasons, PVLAN port sticky ARP entries do not age out. Connecting a device with a different MAC address but with the same IP address generates an error message and the ARP entry is not created.

•Because PVLAN port sticky ARP entries do not age out, you must manually remove the entries if you change the MAC address. To overwrite a sticky ARP entry, first delete the entry with the no arp command, then overwrite the entry with the arp command.

•In a DHCP environment, if you shut down your PC, it is not possible to give your IP address to someone else. To solve this problem, the Catalyst 4500 series switch supports the no ip sticky-arp command. This command promotes IP address overwriting and reuse in a DHCP environment.

•Normal VLANs can be carried on a promiscuous or isolated trunk port.

•The default native VLAN for promiscuous trunk port is VLAN 1, the management VLAN. All untagged packets are forwarded in the native VLAN. Either the primary VLANs or a regular VLAN can be configured as native VLAN.

•Promiscuous trunks cannot be configured to carry secondary VLANs. If a secondary VLAN is specified in the allowed VLAN list, the configuration is accepted but the port is not operational/forwarding in the secondary VLAN. This includes even those VLANs that are of scondary but not associated with any primary VLAN on given port.

•On a promiscuous trunk port, the primary VLAN ACL and QoS are applied on ingress traffic coming in primary VLANs.

•On a promiscuous trunk port, no VLAN ACL or QoS is applied to the egress traffic. This is because for upstream direction, traffic in private VLAN logically flows in the secondary VLAN. Due to VLAN translation in hardware, information about received secondary VLANs has been lost. Hence, no policies are applied. This restriction also applies to traffic bridged from other ports in the same primary VLANs.

•Do not configure port security on PVLAN promiscuous trunk port and vice versa.

If port security is enabled on a promiscuous trunk port, that port may behave in an unpredictable manner because this functionality is not supported.

•Do not configure IEEE 802.1X on a PVLAN promiscuous trunk port.

Note Community private VLAN trunk ports are not supported.

Configuring a VLAN as a PVLAN

To configure a VLAN as a PVLAN, perform this task:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# vlan vlan_ID 

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan {community | 
isolated | primary}

Switch(config-vlan)# end 

Switch# show vlan private-vlan [type]

This example shows how to configure VLAN 202 as a primary VLAN and verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# vlan 202 

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan primary 

Switch(config-vlan)# end 

Switch# show vlan private-vlan

Primary Secondary Type              Interfaces

------- --------- ----------------- ------------------------------------------

202               primary

This example shows how to configure VLAN 303 as a community VLAN and verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# vlan 303 

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan community 

Switch(config-vlan)# end 

Switch# show vlan private-vlan 

Primary Secondary Type              Interfaces

------- --------- ----------------- ------------------------------------------

202               primary

        303       community 

This example shows how to configure VLAN 440 as an isolated VLAN and verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# vlan 440 

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan isolated 

Switch(config-vlan)# end 

Switch# show vlan private-vlan 

Primary Secondary Type              Interfaces

------- --------- ----------------- ------------------------------------------

202               primary

        303       community 

        440       isolated 

Associating a Secondary VLAN with a Primary VLAN

To associate secondary VLANs with a primary VLAN, perform this task:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# vlan primary_vlan_ID 

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan association 
{secondary_vlan_list | add secondary_vlan_list | 
remove secondary_vlan_list}

Switch(config-vlan)# end 

Switch# show vlan private-vlan [type] 

When you associate secondary VLANs with a primary VLAN, note the following:

•The secondary_vlan_list parameter cannot contain spaces. It can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single private VLAN ID or a hyphenated range of private VLAN IDs.

•The secondary_vlan_list parameter can contain multiple community VLAN IDs.

•The secondary_vlan_list parameter can contain only one isolated VLAN ID.

•Enter a secondary_vlan_list or use the add keyword with a secondary_vlan_list to associate secondary VLANs with a primary VLAN.

•Use the remove keyword with a secondary_vlan_list to clear the association between secondary VLANs and a primary VLAN.

•The command does not take effect until you exit VLAN configuration submode.

This example shows how to associate community VLANs 303 through 307 and 309 and isolated VLAN 440 with primary VLAN 202 and verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# vlan 202 

Switch(config-vlan)# private-vlan association 303-307,309,440 

Switch(config-vlan)# end 

Switch# show vlan private-vlan 

Primary Secondary Type              Interfaces

------- --------- ----------------- ------------------------------------------

202     303       community 

202     304       community 

202     305       community 

202     306       community 

202     307       community 

202     309       community 

202     440       isolated 

        308       community 

Note The secondary VLAN 308 has no associated primary VLAN.

Configuring a Layer 2 Interface as a PVLAN Promiscuous Port

To configure a Layer 2 interface as a PVLAN promiscuous port, perform this task:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# interface {fastethernet | 
gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet} slot/port 

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode private-vlan 
{host | promiscuous | trunk promiscuous | trunk 
[secondary]}

Switch(config-if)# [no] switchport private-vlan 
mapping [trunk] primary_vlan_ID 
{secondary_vlan_list | add secondary_vlan_list | 
remove secondary_vlan_list}

Switch(config-if)# end 

Switch# show interfaces {fastethernet | 
gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet} slot/port 
switchport 

Note The maximum number of unique PVLAN pairs supported by the switchport private-vlan mapping command is 1000.

When you configure a Layer 2 interface as a PVLAN promiscuous port, note the following:

•The secondary_vlan_list parameter cannot contain spaces. It can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single PVLAN ID or a hyphenated range of PVLAN IDs.

•Enter a secondary_vlan_list or use the add keyword with a secondary_vlan_list to map the secondary VLANs to the PVLAN promiscuous port.

•Use the remove keyword with a secondary_vlan_list to clear the mapping between secondary VLANs and the PVLAN promiscuous port.

This example shows how to configure interface FastEthernet 5/2 as a PVLAN promiscuous port, map it to a PVLAN, and verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 5/2 

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode private-vlan promiscuous

Configuring a Layer 2 Interface as a Promiscuous PVLAN Trunk Port

To configure a Layer 2 interface as a promiscuous PVLAN trunk port, perform this task:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# interface {fastethernet | 
gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet} slot/port 

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode private-vlan {host 
| promiscuous | trunk promiscuous | trunk [secondary]}

Switch(config-if)# [no] switchport private-vlan 
mapping [trunk] primary_vlan_ID {secondary_vlan_list | 
add secondary_vlan_list | remove secondary_vlan_list}

Switch(config-if)# end 

Switch# show interfaces {fastethernet | 
gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet} slot/port 
switchport 

Note The maximum number of unique PVLAN pairs supported by the
switchport private-vlan mapping trunk command is 500. For example, 500 isolated secondary VLANs could map to 500 primary VLANs, because only one isolated VLAN association per primary VLAN is supported. Or, 500 community secondary VLANs could map to one primary VLAN. Or, 250 community secondary VLANs could map to 1 primary VLAN, and another 250 community secondary VLANs could map to another primary VLAN for a total of 500 pairs.

Note By default, when you configure the mode to private VLAN trunk promiscuous, the native VLAN is set to 1.

The [no] switchport private-vlan mapping command provides the following three levels of removal:

•Remove one or more secondary VLANs from the list. For example:

Switch(config-if)# switchport private-vlan mapping trunk 2 remove 222

•Remove the entire mapping of PVLAN promiscuous trunk port to the specified primary VLAN (and all of its selected secondary VLANs). For example:

Switch(config-if)# no switchport private-vlan mapping trunk 2

•Remove the mapping of a PVLAN promiscuous trunk port to all previously configured primary VLANs (and all of their selected secondary VLANs). For example:

Switch(config-if)# no switchport private-vlan mapping trunk

When you configure a Layer 2 interface as a PVLAN promiscuous port, note the following:

•Multiple private VLAN pairs can be specified using the switchport private-vlan mapping trunk command so that a promiscuous trunk port can carry multiple primary VLANs.

•The secondary_vlan_list parameter cannot contain spaces. It can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single PVLAN ID or a hyphenated range of PVLAN IDs.

•Enter a secondary_vlan_list or use the add keyword with a secondary_vlan_list to map the secondary VLANs to the PVLAN promiscuous port.

•Use the remove keyword with a secondary_vlan_list to clear the mapping between secondary VLANs and the PVLAN promiscuous port.

This example shows how to configure interface FastEthernet 5/2 as a promiscuous trunk port and to verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# interface fastethernet 5/2 

Switch(config-if)# switchport mode private-vlan trunk promiscuous

Switch(config-if)# switchport private-vlan trunk native vlan 10

Switch(config-if)# switchport private-vlan trunk allowed vlan 10, 3-4

Switch(config-if)# switchport private-vlan mapping trunk 3 301, 302

Switch(config-if)# end 

Switch# show interfaces fastethernet 5/2 switchport

Permitting Routing of Secondary VLAN Ingress Traffic

Note Isolated and community VLANs are both called secondary VLANs.

To permit routing of secondary VLAN ingress traffic, perform this task:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# interface vlan primary_vlan_ID 

Switch(config-if)# [no] private-vlan mapping 
primary_vlan_ID {secondary_vlan_list | add 
secondary_vlan_list | remove secondary_vlan_list}

Switch(config-if)# end 

Switch# show interface private-vlan mapping

When you permit routing on the secondary VLAN ingress traffic, note the following:

•The private-vlan mapping interface configuration command only affects private VLAN ingress traffic that is Layer 3 switched.

•The secondary_vlan_list parameter cannot contain spaces. It can contain multiple comma-separated items. Each item can be a single private VLAN ID or a hyphenated range of private VLAN IDs.

•Enter a secondary_vlan_list parameter or use the add keyword with a secondary_vlan_list parameter to map the secondary VLANs to the primary VLAN.

•Use the remove keyword with a secondary_vlan_list parameter to clear the mapping between secondary VLANs and the primary VLAN.

This example shows how to permit routing of secondary VLAN ingress traffic from private VLANs 303 through 307, 309, and 440 and verify the configuration:

Switch# configure terminal 

Switch(config)# interface vlan 202 

Switch(config-if)# private-vlan mapping add 303-307,309,440 

Switch(config-if)# end 

Switch# show interfaces private-vlan mapping
