| VLAN Configuration
Configuring MAC-based VLANs
◆ 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)
Web Interface
To map a MAC address to a VLAN:
1.
Click VLAN, MAC-Based.
2.
Select Add from the Action list.
3.
Enter an address in the MAC Address field, and a mask to indicate a range of
addresses if required.
4.
Enter an identifier in the VLAN field. Note that the specified VLAN need not
already be configured.
5.
Enter a value to assign to untagged frames in the Priority field.
6.
Click Apply.
