MAC Address Management
Overview
Overview
The switch assigns MAC addresses in these areas:
■
For management functions, one Base MAC address is assigned to the
default VLAN (VID = 1). (All VLANs on the switches covered in this guide
use the same MAC address.)
■
For internal switch operations: One MAC address per port (Refer to “CLI:
Viewing the Port and VLAN MAC Addresses” on page D-5.)
MAC addresses are assigned at the factory. The switch automatically
implements these addresses for VLANs and ports as they are added to the
switch.
N o t e
The switch’s base MAC address is also printed on a label affixed to the switch.
