SF 300 private-vlan

[lmcdougall]

Hi,

I am working on a SF 300 . I favor the cli over the web-interface.

I will like to make a private-vlan community but do not know if my sequence of commands are right or allowed.

Can someone point me in the right direction please ?

MedSwitch#configure terminal

MedSwitch(config)#vlan da

MedSwitch(config-vlan)#vlan 50

MedSwitch(config-vlan)#private-lan community

% Unrecognized command

This is my first experience with cisco switches. I am a beginner.

Thanks.

Hi Luis, this switch does not support private vlan. You may use protected port features (PVE, private vlan edge). This concept means if there is a port with protected port toggle, any other protected port cannot communicate amongst themselves. This behaves sort of like an "isolated port". However, any port that is not a protected port may communicate to the protected port which operates similar to a "promiscuous port".

If you need vlan separation it will be accomplished through ACL or routing functions.

Thank you Tom.

I was afraid I was going to get that answer.

By any chance do you know which switch would have this capabilities. Take in cosideration that we selected this sw for its price and ports numbre.
