Private VLANs.
Private virtual interfaces between two networks for direct traffic exchange. Enable MPLS, QoS, and protocols not allowed on the public fabric.
What are Private VLANs?
Dedicated virtual interfaces between two networks for private traffic exchange, separate from the public fabric.
Private Virtual Interfaces
Private VLANs create dedicated virtual circuits between exactly two networks, completely separate from the public exchange fabric.
Unlike public peering where traffic is visible to all exchange participants, Private VLANs enable direct, private communication with support for protocols like MPLS that aren't allowed on the public fabric.
Perfect for transit traffic exchange, QoS-enabled connections, and private peering relationships.

Why should you use private VLANs over FD-IX?
Protocol Flexibility
Run MPLS, QoS, and other protocols not allowed on the public exchange fabric.
QoS Control
Dedicated bandwidth allocation and traffic prioritization for optimal performance.
Private Exchange
Direct traffic exchange between two networks, invisible to other exchange participants.
Dedicated Circuits
Point-to-point virtual interfaces with guaranteed performance and reliability.
Frequently asked questions.
Get answers to common questions about Private VLANs and how they can enhance your network security.
A Private VLAN is an advanced network segmentation technology that provides additional isolation within a traditional VLAN. It restricts communication between specific devices while maintaining connectivity to designated gateway systems, offering enhanced security for multi-tenant and enterprise environments.
