MAC VLAN Configuration
To complete MAC VLAN configuration, follow these steps:
1) Configure 802.1Q VLAN.
2) Bind the MAC address to the VLAN.
3) Enable MAC VLAN for the port.
Configuration Guidelines
When a port in a MAC VLAN receives an untagged data packet, the switch will first check
whether the source MAC address of the data packet has been bound to the MAC VLAN.
If yes, the switch will insert the corresponding tag to the data packet and forward it within
the VLAN. If no, the switch will continue to match the data packet with the matching rules
of other VLANs (such as the protocol VLAN). If there is a match, the switch will forward
the data packet. Otherwise, the switch will process the data packet according to the
processing rule of the 802.1 Q VLAN. When the port receives a tagged data packet, the
switch will directly process the data packet according to the processing rule of the 802.1 Q
VLAN.
