MAC Address Management

Overview

D-2
Overview
The switch assigns MAC addresses in these areas:
■ For management functions, one Base MAC address is assigned to the
default VLAN (VID = 1). (All VLANs on the switches covered in this guide
use the same MAC address.)
For internal switch operations: One MAC address per port (Refer to "CLI:
■
Viewing the Port and VLAN MAC Addresses" on page D-5.)
MAC addresses are assigned at the factory. The switch automatically
implements these addresses for VLANs and ports as they are added to the
switch.
The switch's base MAC address is also printed on a label affixed to the switch.
