Configuring MAC VLAN Overview
1
Overview
VLAN is generally divided by ports. This way of division is simple but isn’t suitable for those
networks that require frequent topology changes. With the popularity of mobile office, a terminal
device may access the switch via different ports. For example, a terminal device that accessed the
switch via port 1 last time may change to port 2 this time. If port 1 and port 2 belong to different
VLANs, the user has to re-configure the switch to access the original VLAN. Using MAC VLAN can
free the user from such a problem. It divides VLANs based on the MAC addresses of terminal
devices. In this way, terminal devices always belong to their original VLANs even when their
access ports change.
The figure below shows a common application scenario of MAC VLAN.
Figure 1-1 Common Application Scenario of MAC VLAN
Meeting Room 1
Laptop A
Laptop B
Meeting Room 2
Switch 3
Switch 1 Switch 2
Server B
VLAN 20
Server A
VLAN 10
Two departments share all the meeting rooms in the company, but use different servers and
la
ptops. Department A uses Server A and Laptop A, while Department B uses Server B and Laptop
B. Server A is in VLAN 10 while Server B is in VLAN 20. It is required that Laptop A can only access
Server A and Laptop B can only access Server B, no matter which meeting room the laptops are
being used in. To meet this requirement, simply bind the MAC addresses of the laptops to the
corresponding VLANs respectively. In this way, the MAC address rather than the access port
determines the VLAN each laptop joins. Each laptop can access only the server in the VLAN it joins.
