Configuring VLANs

Figure 21-3 shows an example Private VLAN scenario, in which five hosts (H-

A through H-E) are connected to a stack of switches (SW1, SW2). The 

switch stack is connected to router R1. Port references shown are with 

reference to the stack.

An endpoint connected to a promiscuous port is allowed to communicate 

with any endpoint within the private VLAN. Multiple promiscuous ports can 

be defined for a single private VLAN domain.
In the configuration shown in Figure 21-3, the port connected from SW1 to 

R1 (TE1/1/1) is configured as a promiscuous port. It is possible to configure a 

port-channel as a promiscuous port in order to provide a level of redundancy 

on the private VLAN uplink.
