57.14 Vendor ID Based VLAN
The Vendor ID based VLAN feature assigns incoming untagged packets to a VLAN and classifies the
traffic based on the source MAC address of the packet. When untagged packets arrive at the switch,
the source MAC address of the packet is looked up in a Vendor ID to VLAN mapping table. If an entry is
found, the corresponding VLAN ID is assigned to the packet. 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 feature allows users to change ports without having to reconfigure the VLAN. You can assign a
802.1p priority to the vendor ID based VLAN and define a vendor ID to VLAN mapping table by entering
a specified source MAC address and mask in the vendor ID based VLAN setup screen. You can also
delete a vendor ID based VLAN entry in the same screen.
For every vendor ID based VLAN rule you set, you can specify a weight number to define the rule’s
priority level. As rules are processed one after the other, stating a priority order will let you choose which
rule has to be applied first and which second.

Table 213 SWITCHING > VLAN > MAC Based VLAN Setup > Add/Edit
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Name Enter a name up to 32 alphanumeric characters except [ ? ], [ | ], [ ' ], [ " ] or [ , ] for the
MAC-based VLAN entry.
MAC Address Enter a MAC address that is bind to the MAC-based VLAN entry. This is the source MAC
address of the data packet that is looked up when untagged packets arrive at the Switch.
VID Enter an ID (from 1 to 4094) for the VLAN that is associated with the MAC-based VLAN entry.
Priority Enter a priority (0 to 7) that the Switch assigns to frames belonging to this VLAN. The higher
the numeric value you assign, the higher the priority for this MAC-based VLAN entry.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses these
changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation panel to
save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Clear Click Clear to clear the fields to the factory defaults.
Cancel Click Cancel to not save the configuration you make and return to the last screen.
