vlan mac
Defines a MAC address rule for an existing VLAN. If the source MAC address of a device matches a
MAC address specified in this rule, the device and its mobile port will join the VLAN when the device
starts to send traffic.
vlan vid mac mac_address
vlan vid no mac mac_address

vid VLAN ID number (1–4094).
mac_address MAC address (e.g., 00:00:39:59:f1:0c).
Defaults
N/A
Platforms Supported
OmniSwitch 6250
Usage Guidelines
• Use the no form of this command to delete a MAC address rule from the specified VLAN.
• Once a device joins a MAC address rule VLAN, then it is not eligible to join multiple VLANs even if
the device traffic matches other VLAN rules.
• Mac address rules take precedence behind DHCP and binding rules.
• MAC address rules also capture DHCP traffic, if no other DHCP rule exists that would classify the
DHCP traffic into another VLAN. Therefore, it is not necessary to combine DHCP rules with MAC
address rules for the same VLAN.
• If there are a large number of devices that must join a VLAN, try MAC range rules (see vlan mac
range command on page 21-12).
• Rules are only assigned to existing VLANs. Use the vlan command to create a new VLAN.
