Overview
The switch assigns MAC addresses in these areas:
■ For management functions:
• One Base MAC address assigned to the default VLAN (VID = 1)
• Additional MAC address(es) corresponding to additional VLANs you
configure in the switch
■ For internal switch operations: One MAC address per port (See "CLI:
Viewing the Port and VLAN MAC Addresses" on page B-4.)
MAC addresses are assigned at the factory. The switch automatically
implements these addresses for VLANs and ports as they are added to the
switch.
N o t e The switch’s base MAC address is also printed on a label affixed to the back
of the switch.
