ABSTRACT:
A PVLAN having a primary and secondary VLAN's where the primary and secondary VLAN's have ports and the users connected to those ports. The MAC addresses of those users are learned in the primary or the secondary VLAN's and together with the port designation are stored preferably in tables associated with the VLAN's and the associated VLAN's. Processes are provided that replicate the tables in the other VLAN's so that the information necessary to transfer packets between source and destination ports is available to the associated VLAN's.
