Insight Managed 8-Port Gigabit (Hi-Power) PoE+ Smart Cloud Switch with NETGEAR FlexPoE Power
Configure Switching User Manual131
When untagged or priority-tagged packets arrive at the switch and entries exist in the
MAC-to-VLAN table, the source MAC address of the packet is looked up. If an entry is found,
the corresponding VLAN ID is assigned to the packet. If the packet is already priority tagged
it maintains this value. Otherwise, the priority is set to zero. The assigned VLAN ID is verified
against the VLAN table. If the VLAN is valid, ingress processing on the packet continues.
Otherwise, the packet is dropped. This implies that the user is allowed to configure a MAC
address mapping to a VLAN that was not created on the system.
Add a MAC-based VLAN
To add a MAC-based VLAN:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
For information about finding the IP address of the switch, see Access the switch on
page 14.
The Local Device Login page displays.
If you did not yet register the switch with your NETGEAR account, the Register to unlock
all features page displays. For more information, see
Register and access the switch with
your NETGEAR account on page 29.
4. Enter one of the following passwords:
• After registration, enter your customized local device password.
• If you previously added the switch to an Insight network location, enter the Insight
network password.
For more information about the local device password and the Insight network password,
see
Credentials for the local browser UI on page 28.
5. Click the Login button.
The System Information page displays.
6. Select Switching> VLAN > Advanced > MAC Based VLAN.
The MAC Based VLAN Configuration page displays.
7. In the MAC Address field, enter a valid MAC address to be bound to a VLAN ID.
This field is configurable only when a MAC-based VLAN is created.
8. In the VLAN ID field, specify a VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4093.
9. Click the Add button.
The MAC address is added to the table.
