Configure a MAC-Based VLAN
The MAC-Based VLAN feature allows incoming untagged packets to be assigned to a VLAN
and thus classify traffic based on the source MAC address of the packet.
You define a MAC-to-VLAN mapping by configuring an entry in the MAC-to-VLAN table. An
entry is specified through a source MAC address and a VLAN ID. The MAC-to-VLAN
configurations are shared across all ports of the switch (that is, a system-wide table exists
with MAC address–to–VLAN ID mappings).
When untagged or priority-tagged packets arrive at the switch and entries exist in the
MAC-to-VLAN table, the source MAC address of the packet is looked up. If an entry is found,
the corresponding VLAN ID is assigned to the packet. If the packet is already priority-tagged,
it maintains this value. Otherwise, the priority is set to zero. The assigned VLAN ID is verified
against the VLAN table. If the VLAN is valid, ingress processing on the packet continues.
Otherwise, the packet is dropped. This implies that you can configure a MAC address
mapping to a VLAN that you did not yet create on the switch.
Add a MAC-Based VLAN
 To add a MAC-based VLAN:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Change the Default IP Address of the
Switch on page 11.
Your web browser might display a security message, which you can ignore. For more
information, see
Access the Local Browser Interface on page 19.
The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the Password field.
The default password is password.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Switchingï€ > VLAN > Advanced > MAC Based VLAN.
Forbidden VLANs The number of forbidden VLANs for the interface.
Dynamic VLANs The number of dynamically added VLANs for the interface.
