What Is Single Mac Router Mode - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6624 Network Configuration Manual

Configuring VLANs

What is Single MAC Router Mode?

The OmniSwitch 6624/6648 operates only in single MAC router mode. In this mode, each router port
VLAN is assigned the same MAC address, which is the base chassis MAC address for the switch. As a
result, up to 4094 IP router port VLANs are supported per single switch or per stack of switches. This also
eliminates the need to allocate additional MAC addresses if more than 32 router port VLANs are defined.
To determine the total number of VLANs configured on the switch, and the number of VLANs with IP
router ports defined, use the
command, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
