Use the VLAN > MAC-Based page to configure VLAN based on MAC

addresses. The MAC-based VLAN feature assigns VLAN IDs to ingress

untagged frames according to source MAC addresses.

When MAC-based VLAN classification is enabled, untagged frames received

by a port are assigned to the VLAN which is mapped to the frame’s source

MAC address. When no MAC address is matched, untagged frames are

assigned to the receiving port’s native VLAN ID (PVID).

The MAC-to-VLAN mapping applies to all ports on the switch.

Source MAC addresses can be mapped to only one VLAN ID.

Configured MAC addresses cannot be broadcast or multicast addresses.

When MAC-based, IP subnet-based, and protocol-based VLANs are

supported concurrently, priority is applied in this sequence, and then

port-based VLANs last.
