MAC Address Management

Determining MAC Addresses

 

Menu: Viewing the Switch’s MAC Addresses

 

The Management Address Information screen lists the MAC addresses for:

 

Base switch (default VLAN; VID = 1)

 

Any additional VLANs configured on the switch.

 

Also, the Base MAC address appears on a label on the back of the switch.

 

 

N o t e

The Base MAC address is used by the first (default) VLAN in the switch. This

 

is usually the VLAN named “DEFAULT_VLAN” unless the name has been

 

changed (by using the VLAN Names screen). On the Switch 2512/2524, the VID

 

(VLAN identification number) for the default VLAN is always "1", and cannot

 

be changed.

 

To View the MAC Address (and IP Address) assignments for VLANs

1. Status and Counters

 

2. Switch Management Address Information

 

If the switch has only the default VLAN, the following screen appears. If

 

the switch has multiple static VLANs, each is listed with its address data.
