Trusted OUI and Trusted MAC CLI Commands
The switch forwards packets based on the MAC addresses, independent of the 802.1x port state. Prior to
this feature, a network login enabled port cannot be part of a different tagged VLAN. This does not
apply if the trusted MAC feature is enabled on both a global and a VLAN basis.
New CLI commands have been introduced to configure this feature. The following describes each
command:
• Use the
create trusted-mac-address command to configure a trusted MAC -address. The mask
keyword is optional. If you do not specify a mask, the default mask of ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is used. If you do
not specify a port list, the trusted MAC is applied to all of the ports in the VLAN. Devices matching
a created trusted-OUI list are allowed to bypass network login using a specified protocol.
