Private VLAN
This chapter shows you how to configure the Switch to prevent communications 
between ports in a VLAN.
33.1  Private VLAN Overview 
Private VLAN allows you to do port isolation within a VLAN in a simple way. You 
specify which port(s) in a VLAN is not isolated by adding it to the promiscuous port 
list. The Switch automatically adds other ports in this VLAN to the isolated port list 
and blocks traffic between the isolated ports. A promiscuous port can 
communicate with any port in the same VLAN. An isolated port can communicate 
with the promiscuous port(s) only.
Note: You can have up to one private VLAN rule for each VLAN.
Figure 152   Private VLAN Example
Note: Make sure you keep at least one port in the promiscuous port list for a VLAN 
with private VLAN enabled. Otherwise, this VLAN is blocked from the whole 
network.
Isolated ports: 2 ~ 6 
Promiscuous port: 10
