Vlan Mac Range - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6250 Cli Reference Manual

vlan mac range

Defines a MAC range rule for an existing VLAN. If the source MAC address of a device matches the low
or high end MAC or falls within the range defined by the low and high end MAC, the device and its
mobile port will join the VLAN when the device starts to send traffic.

Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to delete a MAC range rule from the specified VLAN. It is only
necessary to enter the low end MAC address to identify which rule to delete; the high end MAC is not
required.
•
Only valid source MAC addresses are allowed for the low and high end boundary MACs. For exam-
ple, multicast addresses (e.g., 01:00:00:c5:09:1a) are ignored even if they fall within a specified MAC
range. To allow the use of a multicast address as either the low or high end boundary MAC would
cause misleading MAC range rule results.
•
Once a device joins a MAC range rule VLAN, then it is not eligible to join multiple VLANs even if the
device traffic matches other VLAN rules.
•
MAC range rules follow the same precedence as MAC address rules.
•
MAC range rules also capture DHCP traffic, if no other DHCP rule exists that would classify the
DHCP traffic into another VLAN. Therefore, it is not necessary to combine DHCP rules with MAC
range rules for the same VLAN.
•
Rules are only assigned to existing VLANs. Use the vlan command to create a new VLAN.
Examples
-> vlan 10 mac range 00:00:39:59:0a:0c 00:00:39:59:0a:0f
-> vlan 10 no mac range 00:00:39:59:0a:0c

VLAN ID number (1–4094).
MAC address that defines the low end of the range (e.g.,
00:00:39:59:f1:00).
MAC address that defines the high end of the range (e.g.,
00:00:39:59:f1:90).
