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 frames source MAC address.
When no MAC address is matched, untagged frames are assigned to the receiving
ports native VLAN ID (PVID).
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, or 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.
Mask – Identifies a range of MAC addresses. (Range: 00-00-00-00-00-00 to
ff-ff-ff-ff-ff-ff)
The binary equivalent mask matching the characters in the front of the first
non-zero character must all be 1s (e.g., 111, i.e., it cannot be 101 or 001...). A
mask for the MAC address: 00-50-6e-00-5f-b1 translated into binary:
MAC: 00000000-01010000-01101110-00000000-01011111-10110001
could be: 11111111-11xxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxx
So the mask in hexadecimal for this example could be:
ff-fx-xx-xx-xx-xx/ff-c0-00-00-00-00/ff-e0-00-00-00-00
VLAN – VLAN to which ingress traffic matching the specified source MAC
address is forwarded. (Range: 1-4094)
Priority – The priority assigned to untagged ingress traffic. (Range: 0-7, where
7 is the highest priority; Default: 0)
