In creating a Private VLAN with a Primary VLAN ID of 2, what type change is necessary for the Accounting network?

  1. Change the PVLAN type for the Accounting network to Promiscuous

  2. Change the PVLAN ID for the Accounting network to 4

  3. Change the PVLAN ID for the Accounting network to 2

  4. Change the PVLAN type for the Marketing network to Promiscuous

The correct answer is: Change the PVLAN type for the Accounting network to Promiscuous

When creating a Private VLAN (PVLAN), the primary VLAN ID serves as the overarching structure that governs how the subordinate VLANs interact. In the context of a PVLAN, networks within this configuration can either be designated as Promiscuous, Isolated, or Community. For the Accounting network to function effectively as part of a PVLAN with a Primary VLAN ID of 2, it’s essential for it to be set as a Promiscuous port. This is because a Promiscuous port has the ability to communicate with all ports in the associated PVLAN, including both Isolated and Community ports. This configuration enables devices on the Accounting network to interact seamlessly with other sub-vlans, which may include servers and other devices requiring access to all traffic within the primary VLAN. Setting the PVLAN type specifically to Promiscuous ensures that the Accounting network can facilitate its necessary communication with other networks using the identified Primary VLAN ID. In this scenario, changing the PVLAN type to Promiscuous is vital for functional communication across the specified Private VLAN, allowing for versatility and proper segmentation in network traffic flow. As for the other options, modifying VLAN IDs or types without ensuring the necessary infrastructure remains compatible may lead to restrictions
