The problem is I can't use PVLAN on my Cisco Nexus 1000v. The CLI says "invalid command".
Version of Cisco Nexus1000v used - 4.2.(1)SV1(4).
What can be the problem? Should I use an earlier version?
Thank you!!!

Hi Petr,
We do fully support PVLANs on Nexus 1000v.
Here is the URL to configuration guide for PVLANs for version 1.4:
Hope this helps!

Hi, Abbharga! Thank you for the fast answer!
No doubt, that version 1.4 do support PVLAN. But what about my screenshots? As you can see, when I try to issue the "private-vlan primary" in the vlan configuration mode, the CLI answers: "...invalid command..."

Hi Petr,
By default the private-vlan feature on 1.4 new install is disabled.
You can turn on the feature by using the command "feature private-vlan". You can check the enabled / disabled features using the command "show feature".
Once you have the feature enabled, you should be able to configure it.
I looked the document again and seems like this is missing in the document. I will look at the document again and if needed will open up a request to correct it.

Hi Petr,
I believe you have to enable the feature called "private-vlan" first.
eg:
Nexus1000V(config)# vlan 10 Nexus1000V(config-vlan)# private-vlan primary ^ % Invalid command at '^' marker. Nexus1000V(config-vlan)# exit Nexus1000V(config)# feature private-vlan Nexus1000V(config)# vlan 20 Nexus1000V(config-vlan)# private-vlan isolated Nexus1000V(config-vlan)# exit Nexus1000V(config)# vlan 10 Nexus1000V(config-vlan)# private-vlan primary Nexus1000V(config-vlan)# private-vlan association 20 Nexus1000V(config-vlan)# end Nexus1000V# sh vlan private-vlan Primary Secondary Type Ports ------- --------- --------------- ----------------- 10 20 isolated

Wow, that's it! Thank you gentlemen, that was the decision:
This command is really absent in the given link
Thanks once again!

Hi Petr,
Just as an update, I had opened the documentation bug for the update. The documents have been updated for the feature option.
