Configuring MAC-based VLANs

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).

“Configuring MAC Based VLANs” on page 409

Command Usage

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.

Parameters

These parameters are displayed:

MAC Address – A source MAC address which is to be mapped to a specific VLAN. The MAC
address must be specified in the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx.

VLAN – VLAN to which ingress traffic matching the specified source MAC address is forwarded.
(Range: 1-4093)

Priority – The priority assigned to untagged ingress traffic.
(Range: 0-7, where 7 is the highest priority; Default: 0)
