Configure VLAN MAC Addresses and LAN Advanced Settings
By default, all configured VLAN profiles share the same single MAC address as the LAN
ports. (All LAN ports share the same MAC address.) However, you can change the VLAN
MAC settings to allow up to 16 VLANs to each be assigned a unique MAC address.
If you attempt to configure more than 16 VLANs while the MAC address for VLANs is set to
Unique on the LAN Advanced screen, the MAC addresses that are assigned to each VLAN
might no longer be distinct.
You can also enable or disable the broadcast of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets
for the default VLAN. If the broadcast of ARP packets is enabled, IP addresses can be
mapped to physical addresses (that is, MAC addresses).
To configure a VLAN to use a unique MAC address:
