HP A5120 EI Series Configuration Guide

NOTE:
 With dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment enabled, packets are delivered to the CPU for processing. The
packet processing mode has the highest priority and overrides the configuration of MAC learning limit and
disabling of MAC address learning. When dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment is enabled, do not configure
the MAC learning limit or disable MAC address learning.
 Do not use dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment together with 802.X and MAC authentication.
 In dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment, the port that receives a packet with an unknown source MAC
address can be successfully assigned to the matched VLAN only when the matched VLAN is a static VLAN.
 With MSTP enabled, if a port is blocked in the MST instance (MSTI) of the target MAC-based VLAN, the port
drops the received packets, instead of delivering them to the CPU. As a result, the receiving port will not be
dynamically assigned to the corresponding VLAN. Do not configure dynamic MAC-based VLAN assignment
together with MSTP, because the former is mainly configured on the access side.
 When a MAC address ages, the receiving port automatically leaves the VLAN to which it was dynamically
assigned to. For more information about MAC address aging, see the chapter ―MAC address table
configuration.‖

Optional
By default, source MAC unknown

of the incoming port if they do not
match any MAC address-to-VLAN
mapping.
