Solved: CBS 250 - no private VLAN support?

Hubsi-Smith · ‎02-13-2022

Hello,
I am now a bit confused about the private VLAN support for Cisco CBS250 series. I got some of the 250-8T and 250-24T and I could not find the private VLAN configuration as descripted in this document:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/csbms/CBS_250_350/Administration-Guide/cbs-250-ag/vlan-management.html

Firmware version: 3.0.0.69

In my opinion, there is no private VLAN support but that would be bad. We bought a lot of them for using this feature

Could someone clarify

Best regards

- It seems that only the cbs350 can do this (private vlans) , I looked it up in the datasheet , where it was mentioned for the 350 but not for the 250. I further confirmed this by using the online emulators : which can be found in https://community.cisco.com/t5/small- business-online-device/bd-p/911-discussions-online-device-emulators , you can easily launch one for the 350 and one for the 250 and easily see that the feature is not available on the 250 (advanced menu). I would suggest to confirm these findings with cisco , or reseller where you bought it from. Sometimes a deal can be made for swapping. The problem being that the documentation sometimes does not differ enough between these models

Hi,

there is not link "Private VLAN Settings". Setting from Basic to Advanced didn´t change something
