MAC VLAN
The MAC VLAN feature adds the capability to assign devices to specific a specific VLAN
by detecting the device MAC address. MAC address groups are created and filter by
MAC address mask to determine which bits to check in the MAC address and assign
them to the configured VLAN.
Note: The MAC VLAN feature can only be used if switch ports are set to Hybrid mode
under VLAN > Port Setting.

1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”
on page 11).
2. Click on VLAN, click on MAC VLAN, and click on MAC Group.
3. Click Add to add a new MAC VLAN group.
4. Review the settings below.
• Group ID – Assign a group ID to the MAC VLAN group.
• MAC Address – Enter the MAC address for filtering. (ex: aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff)
• Mask – Enter the mask used to filter the entered MAC address.
Note: A device MAC address consists of 12 hexadecimal characters (0-9,a-f) and
each hexadecimal character is equivalent to 4 bits each character. Therefore,
the total bits in a single device MAC address is 48 bits. The bit number entered
will be used to determine which bits should match the MAC address entered
and which bits can change starting from left to right.
Example: If MAC address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff is entered and the mask entered is
16, this mask will check if the first 16 bits of the MAC address match and the
remaining bits of the MAC address will not be checked, meaning all device MAC
address matching aa:bb:xx:xx:xx:xx will be filtered for the new MAC VLAN
group. If a mask of 48 is entered, the entire MAC address aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff must
be matched.
5 Click Apply save the new MAC VLAN group.
6. In the top right, click Save to save the configuration settings to NV-RAM/startup
configuration.
7. Click OK.
