Private Vlan - Planet Networking & Communication GS-5220 Series User Manual

4.3.3.6 Private VLAN

The Private VLAN membership configurations for the switch can be monitored and modified here. Private VLANs can be added
or deleted here. Port members of each Private VLAN can be added or removed here.
Private VLANs are based on the source port mask, and there are no connections to VLANs. This means that VLAN IDs and
Private VLAN IDs can be identical.
A port must be a member of both a VLAN and a Private VLAN to be able to forward packets. By default, all ports are VLAN
unaware and members of VLAN 1 and Private VLAN 1.
A VLAN unaware port can only be a member of one VLAN, but it can be a member of multiple Private VLANs. The VLAN Port

appears. Click "OK" to discard the incorrect entry, or click "Cancel" to return to
the editing and make a correction.
