The question

In a Private VLAN, which secondary VLAN type prevents member ports from communicating with each other?
  • ACommunity VLAN
  • BIsolated VLANcorrect
  • CPromiscuous VLAN

The answer

B Isolated VLAN

Isolated ports can only talk upstream to promiscuous ports, never each other. Don't get tripped up: promiscuous is a port mode, not a secondary VLAN type. Follow for tomorrow's rep.

Exam tip

Read what the question is actually asking before looking at the options. The wrong answers here are ones candidates genuinely pick — each is true of something adjacent, just not of what was asked.
