Private VLAN's interaction with ESXi and firewall

I have a SG350 switch between a ESXi host and a PaloAlto firewall.

I'm trying to use private-vlan but I cant get any traffic to work between them.

Topology:
ESXi - SG350 - Firewall(gateway)

The configuration in short looks like this:
ESXi;

private vlan in DVS - 302 Primary vlan, 702 Isolated


DP-VM - Isolated 302,702

DVS-uplink - Trunk 0-4094

 

SG350;

Interface vlan 302

private-vlan primary

private-vlan association add 702

Interface vlan 702

private-vlan isolated

GE1-3(connection to ESXi 3 different host NICs)

Switchport mode trunk

Switchport trunk allowed vlan all

TGE1(connection to firewall)

Switchport mode private-vlan promiscuous

switchport private-vlan mapping 302 add 702

 

The port in the firewall has subinterfaces with subnets + tags.

 

Since ESXi and SG350 are both private-vlan aware it should work with regular trunks between those but PaloAlto are not, thats why I have to use a promiscuous port.

Is this a correct understanding? Why doesnt it work?

I dont have any VTP commands in the SG350 switch cli, it seems to use GVRP instead. Should that be enabled or not?

Is there something else in a SG350 that has to be disabled/enabled in order for private-vlan to work?

 

Br,

Alex
