Configuring MAC VLAN

Configuration Example

Two departments share all the meeting rooms in the company, but use different servers

and laptops. 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. The figure below shows the network topology.

laptops are being used in. The overview of the configuration is as follows:

1) Create VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 on each of the three switches and add the ports to the

VLANs based on the network topology. For the ports connecting to the laptops, set the
