Deleting a Private VLAN
You can delete a private VLAN by deleting the primary VLAN. If you delete a primary VLAN, all
bindings to the primary VLAN are broken, all ports in the private VLAN become inactive, and any
related mappings on the promiscuous port(s) are deleted.
To delete a private VLAN, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to delete primary VLAN 7:
Console> (enable)
clear vlan 7
This command will de-activate all ports on vlan 7
