*Private VLAN*
Private VLAN (PVLAN), also called port isolation, is a layer 2 network segmentation technology. It allows you to isolate ports and segment traffic within the same IP segment. The implementation of a PVLAN in a shared network environment achieves significant IP address savings and strengthens the security of switch ports at the layer 2 level.
In general, there are three types of VLAN ports:
Promiscuity port: This type of port is capable of sending and receiving frames from all other VLAN ports. It usually connects to a layer 3 switch, router, or other gateway devices.
Isolated port: This type of port is located in a sub-VLAN and is dedicated to connecting with a host. It has limited communication capabilities and can only interact with promiscuous ports.
Community Port: Like isolated ports, community ports are also part of a sub-VLAN and connect to hosts. However, they can communicate with both ports in promiscuity and with other community ports within the same sub-VLAN.
VLAN Types of PVLAN
Within a private VLAN, VLANs are accessible in three types:
Primary VLAN: The primary VLAN, also called the original VLAN, allows the transmission of downstream frames from promiscuity ports to all ports connected to the host within its sub-VLANs (secondary VLANs).
Isolated VLAN: As a secondary VLAN, the isolated VLAN limits communication to only switch ports (isolated ports) within the same isolated VLAN. Isolated ports can transmit data to the promiscuous ports of the primary VLAN, but cannot communicate with each other, even within the same isolated VLAN.
Community VLAN: Another type of secondary VLAN is the community VLAN. Within the community VLAN, the ports of the switches (community ports) can communicate with each other and with the ports of the primary VLAN. But this type of VLAN also cannot communicate with other secondary VLANs, including other community VLANs.
