Chapter 16 Configuring Private VLANs
Configuring Private VLANs
Note Dynamic MAC addresses learned in one VLAN of a private VLAN are replicated in the
associated VLANs. For example, a MAC address learned in a secondary VLAN is replicated
in the primary VLAN. When the original dynamic MAC address is deleted or aged out, the
replicated addresses are removed from the MAC address table.
• Configure Layer 3 VLAN interfaces (SVIs) only for primary VLANs.
