How it works…

A primary PVLAN is created on a vDSwitch, and secondary PVLANs are associated with the primary PVLAN. There are three types of secondary PVLAN: Promiscuous, Community, and Isolated. They are depicted in the following diagram:

The virtual machine connections in a Promiscuous PVLAN can communicate with all the virtual machine connections in the same primary PVLAN. When a primary PVLAN is created, a Promiscuous PVLAN is created with the same PVLAN ID as the primary PVLAN.
