CHAPTER 41
N1MAC
41.1 Overview
N1MAC is multiple-to-one MAC address conversion. N1MAC allows the VES-1616FE-55A
(A) to replace the MAC addresses of subscriber xDSL modems (S) with the VES-1616FE-
55A’s MAC address in upstream packets. This removes the need to maintain a big MAC
address table and prevents MAC spoofing attacks on central devices behind the VES-1616FE-
55A.
In this example, N1MAC is enabled on ports 1, 3 and 5 for traffic forwarded from three VDSL
modems. A replaces subscriber xDSL modem MAC addresses (MAC1, MAC2 and MAC3)
with its MAC address (MAC-A) on a frame forwarded to the backbone network (B).
Backbone devices only see a frame from A and record only As MAC address in their MAC
tables.
