ExtremeWare 7.5 Command Reference Guide 363
configure mac-vlan add mac-address
configure mac-vlan add mac-address [any | <mac_address>] mac-group [any |
<group_number>] vlan <vlan name>
Description
Adds a MAC address as a potential member of a MAC-based VLAN.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A
Usage Guidelines
The specified MAC address must be associated with an end station or host only, not a layer 2 repeater
device.
Adding a MAC address means that when the specified address is detected on a member port, as
specified by its group membership, it can participate in the VLAN.
At least one port must be enabled to use the MAC-based VLAN algorithm before any MAC addresses
can be added.
The group number is an integer in the range 1 – 65535. A group number of 0 (zero) is equivalent to
specifying the group number as
any
.
Example
Given ports enabled for MAC-based VLANs as follows:
enable mac-vlan mac-group any ports 16,17
enable mac-vlan mac-group 10 ports 11,12
The following command sets up the end-station with MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:01 to participate in
VLAN engineering via the MAC-enabled ports 16 or 17:
configure mac-vlan add mac-address 00:00:00:00:00:01 mac-group any vlan engineering
MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:01 cannot get access via ports 11 or 12 because it is not configured for
mac-group 10.
mac_address The MAC address to be added to the specified VLAN. Specified in the form
nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn
.
any
indicates that any MAC-address associated with the specified MAC group may be a
member.
group_number The group number that should be associated with the specified MAC address. Specified as an
integer
any
indicates that this MAC address can be associated with any MAC group.
vlan name The name of the VLAN with which this MAC address should associated.
