Usage Guidelines

When you configure a port as a host private VLAN port and one of the following applies, the port becomes inactive:

The port does not have a valid private VLAN association configured.
The port is a Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) destination.
The private VLAN association is suspended.

If you delete a private VLAN port association or if you configure a private port as a SPAN destination, the deleted private VLAN port association or the private port that is configured as a SPAN destination becomes inactive.

Note We recommend that you enable spanning tree BPDU Guard on all private VLAN host ports.

Examples
