Hello Sir

i 've one more question related to promiscuous port
as i know the defination of this promiscuous port .. it can talk to
all other types of ports

But my question is how we make a port promiscuous
means becaming a port promiscuous is only done by when the switch
controller gives the capability for promiscuous
or making a port promiscuous is done by something else

please clearify this .....

Thanks in advance


Vikrant

Whether a port is promiscuous or not is controlled on the switch.
That control may be by switch software or by switch hardware.

Making a port promiscuous is *not* done by the contents of any
data packet. You cannot, for example, set a particular bit in the
layer 2 headers to signal to the switch that it needs to switch
into promiscuous mode.

There is no requirement that any switch (of any Layer of operation)
support promiscuous ports.

Ok Sir,

I m thinking some about a promiscuous port .... i m writing it you
please tell me is it correct or not

I think when we set some ports or any one port to primary vlan
(default vlan 1) and allocate a l3 device to this port then this port
or ports are termed as promiscuous port....

Is it correct................


regards

Vikrant

What are you asking?

Are you asking what a promiscuous port is, or are you asking how the
existence of VLANs in a given L2 network affects the definition of
promiscuous port?

I just did a quick search under "promiscuous port," as opposed to the
more general "promiscuous mode," and came up with this definition:

---------------------------------------
http://www.examguides.com/ccnp-switching-7.htm

39.0 The following are true about PVLANs:

1. There are three types of private VLAN ports: promiscuous, isolated,
and community.

1.1 Promiscuous port: A promiscuous port communicates with all other
PVLAN ports, and is the port typically used to communicate with
external routers, servers, administrative workstations, etc.

[ ... ]

4. In a PVLAN, promiscuous ports are called the primary VLAN, while
community and isolated ports are called secondary VLANs.

5. A PVLAN will only have one primary VLAN, but may have several
secondary VLANS.
