Trunking Vlans in Nexus 1000V

Level 2

I am looking to design a solution for a customer and they run a very tight hosting environment with Nexus 1000V switches and want to setup private vlans as they are running out of vlans

I need to find some info on if it is possible to trunk a private vlan between 2 nexus switches

Or any info on private vlans on Nexus 1000V

Thanks

Roger

Hello Roger,

Yes, pVLANs can be trunked between switches.  A good discussion can be found here.  Have you considered VXLAN as an alternative to pVLANs?  VXLAN allows up to 16M segments definied though they differ slightly from pVLAN in that all VMs in a VXLAN segment can communicate.
