If the device is a switch or other VLAN-capable device, use the base MAC address assigned to the device, and not the MAC address assigned to the VLAN through which the device communicates with the authenticator switch. Note that the switch applies a single MAC address to all VLANs configured in the switch. Thus, for a given switch, the MAC address is the same for all VLANs configured on the switch. (Refer to the chapter titled “Static Virtual LANs (VLANs)” in the Advanced Traffic Management Guide for your switch.)
