Asymmetric VLAN Settings

Under normal circumstances, a pair of devices communicating in a VLAN environment will both send and receive
using the same VLAN; however, there are some circumstances in which it is convenient to make use of two distinct
VLANs, one used for A to transmit to B and the other used for B to transmit to A in these cases Asymmetric VLANs
are needed. An example of when this type of configuration might be required would be if the client was on a distinct IP
subnet, or if there was some confidentiality-related need to segregate traffic between the clients.

MAC-based VLAN Settings

This window is used to create MAC-based VLAN entries on the switch. A MAC Address can be mapped to any
existing static VLAN and multiple MAC addresses can be mapped to the same VLAN. When a static MAC-based
VLAN entry is created for a user, the traffic from this user is able to be serviced under the specified VLAN. Therefore
each entry specifies a relationship of a source MAC address with a VLAN.
