Configuring Private VLAN (PVLAN) on Extreme Networks switches (sample configuration)

Products

• VMware vSphere ESXi

Issue/Introduction

Private Virtual Area Networks (PVLANs) are an extension of the VLAN standard. Before you proceed, confirm it from Extreme Networks that your specific physical switch model supports this standard.

This article provides a reference configuration for setting up a private VLANs on Extreme Networks switches.

Environment

VMware ESXi 4.1.x Installable
VMware vSphere ESXi 5.0
VMware vSphere ESXi 5.1
VMware ESXi 4.1.x Embedded
VMware ESXi 4.0.x Embedded
VMware vSphere ESXi 5.5
VMware ESXi 4.0.x Installable

Configuring Private VLAN (PVLAN) on Extreme Networks switches (Sample configuration)

To configure a PVLAN on the Extreme Networks physical switch:

1. Run this command to create the promiscuous VLAN:
   
   # create vlan "pvlan 1-promisc"
   
   
2. Run this command to configure the promiscuous VLAN tagging:
   
   # configure vlan pvlan 1-promisc tag 2000
   
   
3. Run this command to create an isolated PVLAN:
   
   # create vlan "pvlan 1-isolated1"
   
   
4. Run this command to configure the isolated VLAN tagging:
   
   # configure vlan pvlan 1-isolated tag 2001
   
   
5. Run this command to add the ports in which the VLAN is connected to the ESX host.
   
   Note: Add the promiscuous ports only, the isolated ports is handled automatically as per the PVLAN standard.
   
   # configure vlan pvlan 1-promisc add ports 1:50,2:50 tagged
   
   
6. Run this command to add the physical port to the network-VLAN:
   
   # configure vlan pvlan1-promisc add ports 2:1 private-vlan translated
   

Note: Consult Extreme Networks documentation for the syntax and semantics of the commands shown above.
