Configure VLAN MAC Addresses and LAN Advanced Settings

By default, all configured VLAN profiles share the same single MAC address as the LAN ports. (All LAN ports share the same MAC address.) However, you can change the VLAN MAC settings to allow up to 16 VLANs to each be assigned a unique MAC address.

You can also enable or disable the broadcast of Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets for the default VLAN. If the broadcast of ARP packets is enabled, IP addresses can be mapped to physical addresses (that is, MAC addresses).
