• trunk (inter-switch PVLAN hub port)
Example of the switchport mode private-vlan Command
For interface details, refer to
NOTE: You cannot add interfaces that are configured as PVLAN ports to regular VLANs. You also
cannot add "regular" ports (ports not configured as PVLAN ports) to PVLANs.
The following example shows the switchport mode private-vlan command on a port and on a
port channel.
Dell#conf
Dell(conf)#interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/1
Dell(conf-if-te-2/1)#switchport mode private-vlan promiscuous
Dell(conf)#interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/2
Dell(conf-if-te-2/2)#switchport mode private-vlan host
Dell(conf)#interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/3
Dell(conf-if-te-2/3)#switchport mode private-vlan trunk
Dell(conf)#interface TenGigabitEthernet 2/2
Dell(conf-if-te-2/2)#switchport mode private-vlan host
Dell(conf)#interface port-channel 10
Dell(conf-if-po-10)#switchport mode private-vlan promiscuous

Creating a Primary VLAN

A primary VLAN is a port-based VLAN that is specifically enabled as a primary VLAN to contain the
promiscuous ports and PVLAN trunk ports for the private VLAN.
A primary VLAN also contains a mapping to secondary VLANs, which comprise community VLANs and
isolated VLANs.
1. Access INTERFACE VLAN mode for the VLAN to which you want to assign the PVLAN interfaces.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface vlan vlan-id
2. Enable the VLAN.
