MAC-based Groups

MAC-based VLAN classification enable packets to be classified according to the packet's source MAC address. The administrator can then define MAC-to-VLAN mapping per interface.

VLAN assignment can be done through several classifications, in addition to IP subnet classification. In case several classifications schemes are activated, packets would be classified to a VLAN according to the following precedence:

The user can define several MAC-based VLAN groups, which each group containing different MAC addresses.

These MAC-based groups can be assigned to specific ports. MAC-based VLAN groups cannot contain overlapping ranges of MAC addresses on the same port.
