serve as uplinks and downlinks for the private VLAN, then click Apply.

devices to pass traffic between different VLANs in order to encompass all
the devices participating in a specific protocol. This kind of configuration
deprives users of the basic benefits of VLANs, including security and easy
accessibility.
To avoid these problems, you can configure this switch with
protocol-based VLANs that divide the physical network into logical
VLAN groups for each required protocol. When a frame is received at a
