You have four web servers that are serving static web pages. You want to prevent them from communicating with each other, but allow them to communicate with the gateway

You have a fifth webserver that is serving a web application and therefore it requires access to the database server. This webserver and the database server should ONLY be able to communicate with each other and the gateway
All of these servers are on the same subnet and connected to the same switch

Design a solution to this problem using private VLANs. How would i do this?

If this really is for a classroom problem, then you should talk with your instructor. You really want to get completely comfortable with all of the info. As time goes by, you may even find you really don't want to do this for a living.

If this is a business problem, then all you have to do is create several VLANs with different numbers. All of the devices on the same VLAN can talk to each other, but they can't talk to other VLANs. The gateway will handle the Internet connection.

Separately, you could also do this with a firewall by creating logical rules.
