Defining a MAC Address Range Policy
After you enter the Administrative Status, the following menu displays:
Select rule type:
1. Port Rule
2. MAC Address Rule
21) MAC Address Range Rule
3. Protocol Rule
4. Network Address Rule
5. User Defined Rule
6. Binding Rule
7. DHCP PORT Rule
8. DHCP MAC Rule
81) DHCP MAC Range Rule
Enter rule type (1):
1. Enter 21 and press <Enter>.
2. The following prompt displays:
Set Rule Admin Status to ((e)nable/(d)isable):
Indicate whether or not you want to enable the Administrative Status for this rule. Type e
to enable or d to disable. If you enable the rule, the switch will use it to determine
membership of devices. If you disable the rule, then the switch will not use this rule, but
the parameters you set up will be saved. The Admin Status for a Policy is different from
the Admin Status for this mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN as it controls only to this
specific rule. You can enable or disable the rule at a later time using the modatvl
command.
3. The following prompt displays:
Enter the lower end MAC addresses (AABBCC:DDEEFF) in canonical form
followed by the higher end:
Enter the low end MAC address followed by the high end MAC address. Separate
addresses by a space. The range is specified using the last two bytes of the MAC address.
When you have entered the high end MAC address press <enter>.
4. The following prompt displays:
Configure more rules for this vlan (y/n):
You can set up multiple rules. Enter a Y here if you want to set up more rules in addition
to the MAC Address rule specified here. If you enter Y, you will be prompted for the next
rule that you want to set up. Follow the directions in the appropriate section to configure
that rule.
If you enter N, you will receive a message, similar to the one below, indicating that the
mobile group or AutoTracker VLAN was set up.
VLAN 1:2 created successfully
You are done setting up rules.
♦ Note ♦
MAC range rules only apply to moblie groups. They
cannot be configured for AutoTracker VLANs.
