segment, leading the data packet to specified VLAN. Its advantage is the same as that of the 
MAC-based VLAN: the user does not have to change configuration when relocated. 
The  VLAN  is  divided  by  the  network  layer  protocol,  assigning  different  protocol  to  different 
VLANs. This is very attractive to the network administrators who wish to organize the user by 
applications  and  services.  Moreover  the  user  can  move  freely  within  the  network  while 
maintaining his membership. Advantage  of this method enables user to change physical 
position without changing their VLAN residing configuration, while the VLAN can be divided by 
types of protocols which is important to the network administrators. Further, this method has 
no need of added frame label to identify the VLAN which reduce the network traffic. 
Notice: Dynamic VLAN needs to associate with Hybrid attribute of the ports to work, so the 
ports that may be added to a dynamic VLAN must be configured as Hybrid port. 
18.6.2 Dynamic VLAN Configuration 
Dynamic VLAN Configuration Task Sequence: 
1.  Configure the MAC-based VLAN function on the port 
2.  Set the VLAN to MAC VLAN 
3.  Configure the correspondence between the MAC address and the VLAN 
4.  Configure the IP-subnet-based VLAN function on the port 
5.  Configure the correspondence between the IP subnet and the VLAN 
6.  Configure the correspondence between the Protocols and the VLAN 
7.  Adjust the priority of the dynamic VLAN   
1.  Configure the MAC-based VLAN function on the port 
2.  Set the VLAN to MAC VLAN 
3.  Configure the correspondence between the MAC address and the VLAN 
Command 
Explanation 
Port Mode 
switchport mac-vlan enable 
no switchport mac-vlan enable 
Enable/disable  the  MAC-based  VLAN 
function on the port. 
Command 
Explanation 
Global Mode 
mac-vlan vlan <vlan-id> 
no mac-vlan 
Configure  the  specified  VLAN  to  MAC 
VLAN; the “no mac-vlan” command cancels 
the MAC VLAN configuration of this VLAN.
