Console (config)# interface ethernet g8 Console (config-if)# switchport forbidden vlan add 234-256 switchport protected The switchport protected interface configuration command overrides the FDB decision and sends all Unicast, Multicast and Broadcast traffic to an uplink port. To disable overriding the FDB decision, use the no form of this command. Syntax switchport protected {ethernet port | port-channel port-channel-number } no switchport protected • port-Specifies the uplink port (Ethernet port). • port-channel-number-Specifies the uplink port (port-channel). Default Configuration Switchport protected is disabled. Command Mode Interface Configuration (Ethernet, port-channel) User Guidelines Private VLAN Edge (PVE) supports private communication by isolating PVE-defined ports and ensuring that all Unicast, Broadcast and Multicast traffic from those ports is only forwarded to uplink port(s). PVE requires only one VLAN on each device but not on every port; this reduces the number of VLANs required by the device. Private VLANs and the default VLAN can function simultaneously in the same device. Example The following example configures ethernet port g8 as a protected port, so that all traffic is sent to its uplink (ethernet port g9). Console (config) # interface ethernet g9 Console (config-if) # switchport protected ethernet g8 462 VLAN Commands
