Mac Binding Configuration - UTStarcom iSpirit 3026 Manual

Figure 9-1 is an example about MAC binding, port 1 of iSpirit 3026 switch is bound with MAC
Add. 00:10:5C:00:00:01, under this port there are two users want to connect to to Internet from
this port, MAC Add. of user 1 is 00:10:5C:00:00:01, and MAC Add. of user 2 is 00:10:5C:
00:00:02. Ports 1 of user 1, user 2, and switch belong to one sub-net. Only user 1 can be
connected to Internet through port 1, but not user 2. Data flow p1 given by user 1 can be
forwarded through port 1 of switch, but data flow p2 given by user 2 will be thrown away in the
port 1.
All of these MAC Add. visit Internet only through the port bound with MAC Add. instead of any
other ports. Different ports of switch cannot be bound with the same MAC Add. in the same
VLAN. Users with the MAC Add. cannot visit Internet through Port B if Port A is bound with a
MAC Add. but Port B is not bound with MAC Add. however there are in the same VLAN. Please
refer to Figure 9-1, suppose that Port 1 is bound with MAC Add. 00:10:5C:00:00:01, but Port 2 is
not bound with MAC. Add, however Port 1 and Port 2 belong to the same VLAN, user 1 cannot
visit the Internet through Port 2, but only through Port 1.
One Port bound with one or more MAC Add. does not influence the forwarding efficiency of data
flow input from this port, which can be speedly forwarded. One port can be only bound with 128
MAC Add. max. Port bound with MAC Add. is exclusive from 802.1x port status. The Port cannot
be bound with MAC Add. if 802.1x has been set into Auto, Force-authorized, and
Force-unauthorized status.

9.2 MAC binding configuration

iSpirit 3026 switch supports both manual and auto binding MAC Add. Manual binding refers to
that user inputs MAC Add. one by one to be bound with port according to commands. Auto
binding refers to that find out existed items in ARL Table to carry out MAC Add. binding.
Auto binding with MAC Add. is invalid if the port has been bound with MAC Add. but manual
binding with MAC Add. is allowed. Auto binding with MAC Add. can be only carried out when the
port is not bound with MAC. Auto binding with MAC Add. is invalid if there are not items in ARL
Table when the port is not bound with any MAC Add. If there are more than 128 items is ARL
Table only 128 items can be automatically bound with.
All ports under iSpirit 3026 switch default status are not be found with MAC Add.
