Abstract:
A PVLAN switch for connecting a PVLAN to a non-PVLAN device is configured as a primary VLAN with secondary VLANs, the primary VLAN includes promiscuous ports, each of the secondary VLANs includes a smart PVLAN trunk port, and the smart PVLAN trunk port is included in at least two secondary VLANs where the smart PVLAN trunk port and the promiscuous port connect to non-PVLAN devices. A frame is received on a smart PVLAN trunk port sent from a non-PVLAN device, and includes a destination address and a secondary VLAN ID. The PVLAN switch port ID for the first frame, and a primary VLAN ID for the secondary VLAN ID are identified. If the frame is a non-isolated port, the secondary VLAN ID is modified to be the primary VLAN ID, and the modified frame is sent to another non-PVLAN device connected to the PVLAN switch port.

Claim (Index 7):
A system for connecting a private virtual local area network PVLAN switch to a non-PVLAN device, the system comprising:\n a PVLAN switch configured as a primary VLAN that includes at least one promiscuous port for connecting to non-PVLAN devices, and at least one smart PVLAN trunk port for connecting non-PVLAN devices; at least two secondary VLANs related to the primary VLAN, each of the at least two secondary VLANs including at least the one smart PVLAN trunk port, and the at least one smart PVLAN trunk port is included in at least two secondary VLANs; the system operated to perform a method comprising:\n receiving a first frame on a smart PVLAN trunk port sent from a non-PVLAN device connected to the smart PVLAN trunk port, the first frame including a destination address and a secondary VLAN ID; \n identifying, based on the destination address of the first frame, the PVLAN switch port ID corresponding to the first frame, and the primary VLAN ID related to the secondary VLAN ID; \n in response to determining that the PVLAN switch port corresponding to the first frame is a non-isolated smart PVLAN trunk port:\n modifying the secondary VLAN ID in the first frame to be the primary VLAN ID related to the secondary VLAN; and \n sending the modified first frame to another non-PVLAN device connected to the PVLAN switch port corresponding to the first frame from the PVALN switch port corresponding to the first frame; \n \n receiving a second frame on the promiscuous port sent from a non-PVLAN device connected to the promiscuous port, the second frame including a destination address and a primary VLAN ID; \n identifying, based on the destination address of the second frame, the PVLAN switch port ID corresponding to the second frame, and the secondary VLAN ID related to the primary VLAN ID; \n in response to determining that the PVLAN switch port corresponding to the second frame is one of a promiscuous port and a smart PVLAN trunk port:\n modifying the primary VLAN ID in the second frame to be a secondary VLAN ID related to the second frame; and \n sending the modified second frame to the non-PVLAN device connected to the PVLAN switch port corresponding to the second frame from the PVLAN switch port corresponding to the second frame.
