Protected Ports

CCNP Security Dec 20, 2025

Private VLAN Edge (Protected Ports) provides switch port isolation without using Private VLANs.

The switch doesn’t allow direct traffic between two protected ports.

Less configuration is required than for Private VLANs, but it supports only a single switch.

Gateway is not connected to a protected port.
