Chapter 28: MAC Address-based VLANs
538 Section VI: Virtual LANs
Adding and Deleting Egress Ports
This procedure explains how to add and delete egress ports from the MAC
addresses in a MAC address-based VLAN.
Before adding egress ports to a MAC address, review the following:
The egress ports of a MAC address-based VLAN are considered as a
community. Assigning a port to one address makes it an egress port
for all the addresses in the same VLAN.
A MAC address must have at least one egress port. Otherwise, the
address is not considered a part of the VLAN and the PVID of the port
where the packet’s of the node are received determines VLAN
membership.
A MAC address must be added to a VLAN before you can assign it an
egress port. For instructions, refer to “Adding and Deleting MAC
Addresses” on page 536.
To add or delete egress ports from a MAC address, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 2 to select VLAN Configuration.
The VLAN Configuration menu is shown in Figure 171 on page 472.
2. From the VLAN Configuration menu, type 3 to select Configure
VLANs.
The Configure VLANs menu is shown in Figure 172 on page 473.
3. From the Configure VLANs menu, type 2 to select Modify VLAN.
The Modify VLAN menu is shown in Figure 174 on page 481.
4. From the Modify VLAN menu, type 3 to select Configure MAC
Associations.
The MAC Based VLANs menu is shown in Figure 199 on page 536.
5. To add an egress port to a MAC address, type 3 to select Add Ports.
To delete an address, type 4 to select Delete Ports.
The following prompt is displayed:
Please enter VLAN ID -> [1 to 4094] -> 2
6. Enter the VID of the MAC address-based VLAN where you want to
add or delete an egress port. You can enter only one VID. To display
the VIDs, refer to “Displaying MAC Address-based VLANs” on
page 542.
