PVLAN: Isolated access ports, can't talk to promiscuous ports
I'm setting up a PVLAN on a Dell S5248F (SmartFabric 10). No VMs, no routing, no ACLs.
Testing with 2 hosts (ports 24,25) (isolated) and a server (promiscuous) (LACP port-channel 53).
I got the isolated ports to not talk to each other appropriately, but now they won't talk to the promiscuous port (server).
show vlan private-vlan
Primary Secondary Type Active Ports
------- --------- --------- ------ --------------------------------------------
100 Primary Yes Po53
110 Isolated Yes Eth1/1/24,1/1/25
show interface private-vlan
Interface Vlan PVLAN-Type Interface Type Status
--------- ---- ---------- -------------- --------
Eth1/1/24 110 Isolated Secondary-port true
Eth1/1/25 110 Isolated Secondary-port true
Po53 100 Primary Promiscuous true
The host port configuration:
no shutdown
private-vlan mode secondary-port
switchport access vlan 110
The server port-channel configuration:
no shutdown
private-vlan mode promiscuous
switchport access vlan 100
It's a pretty simple configuration, so I've run into a wall at this point.
My main beef is that I cannot find a sample on this planet (well, on Earth's internet) of a Dell OS10 PVLAN with access ports. All examples point to the Dell User Guide, which has 3 sample configs, and in all of them all PVLAN ports are trunk ports.
Unit is out of warranty.

Well, 0 responses, my network consultant doesn't know Dell PVLANs either… so I'm giving up on it. We're too close to production.

Hello,
https://dell.to/3BVvXpq
page 689
This is the private vlan configuration method in Os10 switches.
For now you can follow the link and configure accordingly. I'm suspecting you did not properly configure the port. If you are able to do it by yourself, you can also call in or raise an official ticket for help. Contact Technical Support | Dell US
Respectfully,

Yes, I read the PVLAN configuration chapter many times, as well as watched the video. (The video is the same example as in the user guide, just in video form.) I cannot configure according to the examples, because the examples are all for trunk ports, not access ports.

Hi,
Could you provide a more precise output of show tech and your network topology diagram (a rough one), so that we could check with the network engineer to provide us a general advice on the configuration if it is correct.
