Creating PVLANs

Before creating a PVLAN, consider the following points:
•
A Primary VLAN ID is created first and represents the PVLAN domain. When any Secondary VLANs
are created, the Primary VLAN ID must be specified to identify the PVLAN to which the Secondary
VLAN is assigned.
•
The VLAN ID that is specified to create a Primary VLAN must not already exist in the system.
•
The following values are configurable only on the Primary VLAN but are also applied to all the
Secondary VLANs that are associated with the Primary VLAN:
– The administrative status for the PVLAN (enabled by default). When the status is changed for the
Primary VLAN ID, the change is automatically applied to the Secondary VLANs.
– The Spanning Tree status for the PVLAN (enabled by default). When the status is changed for the
Primary VLAN ID, the change is automatically applied to the Secondary VLANs.
– IP configuration for the PVLAN. An IP interface is configured on the Primary VLAN but is not
configurable on Secondary VLANs.
•
Specifying a description for Primary and Secondary VLANs is optional. If one is not specified, then
the VLAN ID is used as the description.
•
MVRP cannot be enabled on the PVLAN.
To create a Primary VLAN for the PVLAN, enter pvlan followed by a unique VLAN ID, an optional
administrative status, and an optional description. For example, the following command creates Primary
VLAN 200 with a description:
-> pvlan 200 admin-state enable name "Corporate PVLAN"
When configuring a description that contains multiple words that are separated by spaces, quotations
marks are required. If the description consists of only one word or multiple words separated by another
character (such as a hyphen), then quotation marks are not required.
You can also specify a range of VLAN IDs with the pvlan command. Use a hyphen to indicate a
contiguous range. For example, the following commands create Primary VLANs 10 through 15 and 100
through 105 on the switch:
-> pvlan 10-15 100-105 name "Corporate PVLAN"
-> pvlan 100-105 name "Corporate PVLAN"
The maximum transfer unit (MTU) size can also be configured for the PVLAN when the PVLAN is
created. For example, to set an MTU size of 64 KB for PVLAN 200, enter the following:
-> pvlan 200 mtu-ip 64
To remove a PVLAN from the switch configuration, use the no form of the pvlan command. For example,
to remove PVLANs 10-15, 100-105, and 200, enter:
-> no pvlan 10-15
-> no pvlan 100-105
-> no pvlan 200
