PVE
— Enables a port to be a
Private VLAN Edge
(PVE) port. When a port is defined as PVE, it bypasses the
Forwarding Database (FDB), and forwards all Unicast, Multicast and Broadcast traffic to an uplink (except
MAC-to-me packets). Uplinks can be a port or GE port. Traffic from the uplink is distributed to all interfaces.
