MAC-based Groups
MAC-based VLAN classification enable packets to be classified according to their 
source MAC address. You can then define MAC-to-VLAN mapping per interface.
You can define several MAC-based VLAN groups, which each group containing 
different MAC addresses.
These MAC-based groups can be assigned to specific ports/LAGs. MAC-based 
VLAN groups cannot contain overlapping ranges of MAC addresses on the same 
port.
The following table describes the availability of MAC-based VLAN groups in 
various SKUs:
