Syntax Description

name Specifies a name for the new PVLAN.
vr_name Specifies the VR in which the PVLAN is created.

Default

N/A.

Usage Guidelines

The PVLAN is a framework that links network and subscriber VLANs; it is not an actual VLAN.

A private VLAN name must begin with an alphabetical character and may contain alphanumeric characters and underscores ( _ ), but it cannot contain spaces. The maximum allowed length for a name is 32 characters. For private VLAN naming guidelines and a list of reserved names, see Object Names in the Switch Engine 32.2 User Guide .

If no VR is specified, the PVLAN is created in the default VR context.

Example

The following example creates a PVLAN named "companyx":

create private-vlan companyx
